Pochette Motors was born in 1970 in Stuttgart, Germany, created by a group of Italians, French and Germans.  The name "Pochette" takes up that of the women's handbag: it wanted to give a meaning of compactness, but also elegance and functionality in making products.  The company immediately split into three parts:

 - Pochette France SAS (which took care of the design of the cars)

 - Pochette Germany GmbH (which took care of the engines and the technical part of the car)

 - Pochette Italia S.p.A. (which took care of the finishing, the details, some technical and stylistic parts of the car and the nomenclatures).
