Gauvain PARIS
We were born to preserve the traditional Breton Shirt making process. Discovering that many of these garments are now produced outside the region gave us the perfect opportunity to create Gauvain.
It began as a garment that protected fishermen from the cold at sea, then became the official uniform of the French navy, and today it remains a wardrobe essential.
We dedicate a portion of our sales to the conservation of seabirds like the puffin, a bird that not only represents Brittany but is also a fundamental part of our identity.
