Mat De Misaine is French nautical clothing at its most relaxed, designed on the Atlantic coast since 1989. For the colder months the brand turns to knitwear: chine jumpers, Breton stripes and roll necks in sesame, noisette and a deep blue it calls abysse.
We have stocked Mat De Misaine for years because it does something few brands manage. It takes genuine maritime heritage and turns it into clothes real women reach for every week.
There are coats too, in sesame and mordoré brown wool mixes, long enough to go over a thick knit. A burgundy jacquard jacket adds more colour. Underneath, the printed cotton blouses come in green, orange and pink.
Trousers keep the relaxed fit the brand is known for, in denim and cotton, including a deep Pacifique blue pair.
Mat De Misaine began in 1989 in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, a fishing port on the French Atlantic coast. The name means foremast, and the first collections reworked the washed canvas workwear of deep-sea fishermen into everyday clothing. That honesty is still in every piece.
