Saint James

For the last 130 years, Saint James clothing’s identity has been linked to artisanal, slow fashion knitting know-how developed through a close “family” of employees. We are heirs to a nautical tradition that we are proud to share in France and around the world. We work every day to produce high-quality products, combining high standards, simplicity, and elegance.

Saint James has consistently been attached to the values of independence, freedom, and openness to the world.

From the creation in 1889 of the “Filatures de Saint James'' to the company's transfer of ownership to its employees and senior executives in 1990, everything is being done in the common interest of the company and its economic and social environment.

Far from isolating us, this spirit of independence has enabled us to multiply partnerships and promote the brand internationally while maintaining our identity.

More than 130 years after establishing the first spinning mill in the town of Saint-James, under the leadership of its former mayor, Léon Legallais, the company's offices and workshops have remained in the region. Our brand has become a true standard-bearer for the entire region.

Normandy and its nautical traditions are at the heart of our DNA and push us every day to make our precious heritage known to as many people as possible.
