AMERICAN VINTAGE Shops in Montecito

Once upon a time...

Michaël Azoulay created the French brand American Vintage in 2005. Instinctive and curious, he sought his inspiration
in the streets of the world. He surrounded himself with a team of designers and reinvented the Basics.

He renewed T-shirts that are now part and parcel of any women’s wardrobe. Comprehensive and trendy, the collections are drawn in a pure style with authentic simplicity. In constant search for new materials and skilful blends of natural fibres, the garments are a fine, delicate wrap for the body.

The Basics are declined in a richly coloured palette with original pigmentary tons.



A collection inspired by nature… With fresh and authentic notes

New fabrics… 100% silk, hand-knitted cotton, silk/cotton blend, organic cotton voile…

All of our Basics are available in pastel and natural shades. Un nouveau venu dans la maison des basiques… un jersey supima, un t-shirt extra large, un débardeur col U et un t-shirt col V serré.

Twill, diagonal lines, adds a feminine touch to little dresses in peach and lychee, and an outfit comprising a retro top in the style of a "bather" combined with a pair of micro-shorts. California Theme.
