Atelier Antoine de Saint Exupéry is a French maison that celebrates the spirit of adventure, refinement, and humanism.
Our mission is to offer a timeless wardrobe, designed to accompany the modern man through the landscapes of his daily life. Our pieces are crafted in France and across Europe, from noble materials and with artisanal expertise, blending durability with understated elegance. Our collections are sober yet refined, responsible and enduring, created to last and to be passed down. Inspired by Saint-Exupéry’s legacy, they carry the poetry of travel, the strength of courage, and the respect of universal values.
More than a garment, a companion for the journey.
Our values are consistent with those embodied by Antoine de Saint Exupéry in his writings and in his life. We invite you to refer to the “The Brand” page of this site, to discover them.
On each page describing our clothes, you will find the different stages of its manufacture, as well as their location and the partner with whom we work.
To get to know our partners better, and understand why we have chosen them, we advise you to refer to the “our partners” page.
Our goal is to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, through our offering of timeless and sustainable collections, the materials we use, their place of production and the location of our manufacturing partners. However, we are not yet able to calculate this impact. This is why we communicate transparently on our entire supply chain and our partners, so that you can judge our commitment.
“Made in France” implies higher labor costs (around 30 to 60% compared to other European countries, around 100% compared to countries in the Mediterranean arc) for the same technical skills, and therefore a more expensive final price. Compared to a garment made in Asia, the ratio is more like 1 to 4!
But, we have to choose our battles and, making “made in France” clothes is one of them!! For our shirts and pants, for example, we have chosen linen that is 100% grown, spun, woven and dyed in France, and sewn by a partner located in Poland and Bulgaria, which allows us to offer you these clothes at a reasonable price with excellent quality. Later, when our purchasing volumes increase, we will consider repatriating this manufacturing to France. Some of the clothes in our collections, such as linen polo shirts and sweaters, are 100% made in France. However, it is important to be precise: some raw materials (cotton) are imported, but we systematically try to reduce the carbon footprint of our clothing supply chains.
