La Griffe Ausoni is a Swiss family-owned store that retails luxury clothing, with two branches in Lausanne and in Montreux. Their history traces back to 1906, when Eufonio Ausoni founded the shop, and it remains under the management of his great-granddaughter Pascale Ausoni. This series of posters featuring cats was designed by Etienne Delessert and are a well-known component of the brand's image, often appearing at auction and still featuring in their promotion.
