About us
How we started
It was France that established the fashion fate of the white women’s shirt. For a long time, white color was not in fashion.It was opened to Europe by, among others, the famous French women – Marie-Louise of Austria, the second wifeof Napoleon Bonaparte, and Countess Eugenie de Montijo, the wife of Napoleon III who selected white wedding dresses for their solemn wedding ceremonies. In the 19th century,the white was the color of aristocracy: such clothes quickly smutted and required frequent washing. Only the elite could afford this. For many years, the shirt remained an exclusive part of men’s clothes.
One of the first women who ventured to take a fashion accessory from the stronger sex was Georges Sand, the bright, courageous, and free French woman wearing a shirt undera man’s suit. Finally, the white women’s shirt was recognized thanks to another famous French woman – Coco Chanel.
