charvet

Founded in 1838 on Paris’s prestigious Place Vendôme, Charvet holds the distinction of being the world's first-ever shirt shop. Established by Christofle Charvet, whose father was a wardrobe curator for Napoleon, the house revolutionized menswear by offering made-to-order shirts in a dedicated boutique, a novel concept at the time. For nearly two centuries, Charvet has been the benchmark for luxury shirting, supplying royalty, heads of state, and cultural icons, from King Edward VII to John F. Kennedy and Coco Chanel. The brand is defined by its unparalleled selection of fabrics—with over 6,000 bolts, including hundreds of whites and blues—and its meticulous, single-needle construction.
