SAINT JAMES




The SAINT-JAMES Company has been established in Lower Normandy, in the commune of Saint-James, close to Mont Saint-Michel, since 1889.

Its fame is based upon a cult item of clothing "the genuine pure new knitted woolen Breton seaman's sweater". Originally intended for deep sea fishermen.

Around 1850, Saint-James, a commune in Lower Normandy, located 20 kilometers from Mont Saint-Michel experienced a real industrial adventure.
The Legallais family started to spin and dye locally produced wool. This was then resold as skeins and balls of wool to the haberdasheries of Brittany and Normandy, later as underwear : real woolen shirts which gave birth to the fisherman's sweater.

It was the Mayor of Saint-James, Léon LEGALLAIS, who transformed a workshop into a real industry.

Today, Saint James still supply the National French Navy and it's quality remain the same.

On stock at Denim Addikt boutique from 10th March.

BASS WEEJUN





With Bass Weejun penny loafers you never had to worry about leaving the house without a coin to your name. You could always just tuck one into your shoe.

The G.H. Bass shoe company was founded in 1876 by George Henry Bass. In 1910 he introduced the camp Mocc, an elegant, comfortable moccasin that was an alternative to the hard dress shoe. Then, in 1936, came the Weejun penny loafer, another classic addition to footware.
The Weejun was an instant hit, and the entire family could embrace this symbol of status and sophisticated leisure. The name of this leather slip-on was derived from the word “Norweigian”, the ethnicity of its founder. The shoes were also referred to as penny loafers, due to the half-pocket on the front where a penny or other coin could be slipped. You could carry a penny for good luck, or, as girls in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s did, carry a dime to make an emergency phone call in case a date got a little too fresh.

Available from the 1st of March at Denim Addikt boutique.

MOSCOT




It's all started in 1899 when Hyman Moscot arrived to New York and started selling ready-made eyeglasses from a pushcart on Orchard Street on Manhattan's famed Lower East Side.
Today Moscot is still on Orchard Street and continue to offer a great selection of vintage inspired glasses.
If you have the chance to get there, you will be amazed by the look of the store (out of time) and by the selection they offer.
Try to be served by Marylin ; she will do her best to get you the perfect glasses you waited for !
