Saint James is, among other French fashion staples, the employee-owned purveyor of the original made-in-France Breton stripe shirt for women, men, and children. With roots dating back to 1067 in the village of Saint-James, Normandy, the brand’s legacy is built on over a millennium of craftsmanship. The original Breton striped marinière, born in this coastal region, has since become an enduring symbol of French style, blending practicality with elegance. 

As a pioneer of slow fashion, Saint James remains committed to quality over trends. Each garment is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, designed to last and crafted with a deep respect for tradition. The brand’s maritime-inspired apparel, particularly its iconic striped knits, has become a wardrobe staple, admired by fashion icons and worn by fishermen alike for over 130 years. 

Saint James’ timeless designs have captivated celebrities and style enthusiasts around the world, with its pieces spotted on figures like Pablo Picasso, Karl Lagerfeld, Julia Roberts, and more recently George Clooney and Brad Pitt. For retailers, the brand offers not just clothing but a piece of authentic French lifestyle, making it a desirable addition to any store with its rich heritage, quality, and versatility.
