Main article: Charvet Place Vendôme

Charvet is a French high-end bespoke and ready-to-wear shirtmaker from Paris, France, with a flagship store located at 28 Place Vendôme in Paris. Founded in 1838, the company is probably the oldest remaining shirtmaker. Its history is exceptionally intertwinned with the history of fashion. The company itself does not communicate on its customers. Nevertheless, names found in public sources help piece this contribution.

19th Century

Until the end of the 19th century, aside from its specialization in "royal haberdashery", the company has attracted the patronage of

Early 20th century

Recent history

  • Charvet has also been associated with customers in a controversial way:
    • Irish politician Charles Haughey,
    • French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy,, whose unbuttoned shirts are specially designed with "collars that withstand the unbuttoning and never disappear under his jacket".
