Saint James

Close to the Atlantic coast of Brittany, the traditional production site is located in SAINT JAMES. The foundation stone for SAINT JAMES was laid as early as 1889, when the Legallais family started up their spinning mill in the Normandy town of the same name. The coastal region shaped the products from the beginning and the products shaped the brand from the beginning. The special wool from the sheep of the region is processed on the circular knitting machines. The dense, robust wool sweaters were already ideally suited for fishermen and sailors at that time, and so SAINT JAMES developed step by step into a specialist for densely knitted, seawater-resistant marine sweaters. Then as now, SAINT JAMES stands for a look that is influenced by Brittany. The maritime style runs through all products and even today models are produced that have remained almost unchanged for 100 years. Saint James has also retained its close ties to the region, producing entirely in-house and valuing local resources. Today, customers still include Breton fishermen, the French navy and maritime authorities, but also fashion boutiques in France and the wider world. Because even if the roots are still clearly visible and refer to Brittany, the marine style has become widely established in the meantime. Stripe looks are no longer seen only in the maritime environment worldwide, but have established themselves as a permanent fixture in the fashion world.
