Modern Parisian Knitwear with Structure and Precision
Chic and structured French knitwear represents the modern Parisian wardrobe—polished, confident, and refined. Unlike romantic styles driven by softness and nostalgia, this aesthetic emphasizes clean lines, controlled silhouettes, and sharp detailing, bridging knitwear and tailoring.
We work with fashion brands seeking Maje- or Sandro-inspired knitwear production, delivering OEM and ODM solutions that balance elegance with wearability. Our role is to transform structured design concepts into consistent, scalable production suitable for contemporary French ready-to-wear collections.
What Defines Chic & Structured French Knitwear
This aesthetic is defined by discipline in construction and clarity in form. Every detail serves proportion and balance.
Key characteristics include:
Clean, well-defined silhouettes
Controlled shoulder lines and fitted shapes
Minimal surface texture with refined stitch work
Contrast trims, buttons, or paneling as focal points
Manufacturing execution must maintain structure without stiffness, ensuring garments remain comfortable while retaining their intended shape.
Merino, Compact Blends & Refined Fibers
Material selection for structured French knitwear prioritizes stability, smoothness, and recovery.
We commonly work with:
Fine merino wool for softness with shape retention
Compact wool blends to enhance structure
Viscose or nylon blends for durability and drape control
Yarn twist, ply, and gauge are carefully calibrated to prevent sagging, distortion, or excessive stretch. Swatching and pre-production testing are conducted to confirm stitch definition, weight consistency, and long-term performance.
Tailored Lines with Knitwear Comfort
Structured French knitwear often mirrors tailored garments in proportion while maintaining knitwear comfort.
Typical product categories include:
Fitted cardigans with contrast trims
Structured pullovers with clean necklines
Cropped knits with defined shoulders
Knit jackets and refined layering pieces
Gauge selection and stitch density are engineered to support shape retention. Rib treatments, shoulder reinforcement, and hem finishes are optimized to ensure garments maintain structure throughout wear and washing.

Brands aligned with this aesthetic focus on clarity, polish, and confident femininity. Representative references include Maje, Sandro, Claudie Pierlot, The Kooples, and Ba&sh.
Although each brand has a distinct identity, they share common production principles: refined yarns, precise construction, and strong attention to proportion and finishing.
Our manufacturing approach is built to support these exact requirements.
