Since the 19th century, it has supplied bespoke shirts and haberdashery to kings, princes and heads of state. It has acquired an international reputation for the high quality of its products, the level of its service and the wide range of its designs and colors. Thanks to the renown of its ties, charvet has become a generic name for a certain type of silk fabric used for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe store was founded in 1836 or in 1838 by Joseph-Christophe Charvet, known as Christofle Charvet (1809–1870).\u003cbr\u003eHis father Jean-Pierre, native of Strasbourg, had been \"curator of the wardrobe\" for Napoleon Bonaparte, a position created at the beginning of the Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristofle Charvet created the first shirtmaker store in Paris, for which the new term chemisier (shirtmaker) was coined. The development of this specialty trade was favored by a change in men's fashion, with more importance given to the waistcoat and the shirt collar. Previously, shirts were generally made by linen keepers with fabric provided by the customer, entirely of rectangles and squares but in this store of a new kind, clients were measured, fabric selected and shirts made on site. There were no shaping seams and no need for shirt patterns. \u003cbr\u003eThe new kind of shirt was called chemise à pièce (yoked shirt). \u003cbr\u003eIn 1839, Charvet already had some imitators, but still the \"best supply\".\u003cbr\u003eThe same year, Charvet held the title of official shirtmaker to the Jockey Club, a very exclusive Parisian circle which had about 250 members, mostly aristocrats, who, despite the name of their club, were more interested in elegance than horses. Being a member was a necessary step in order to become a lion, the term used then for a dandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoseph-Édouard Charvet, known as Édouard Charvet, (1842–1928) succeeded his father Christofle in 1868. He in turn was joined in the early 20th century by his three sons, Étienne, Raymond and Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe store moved to place Vendôme in 1877. This move reflected a shift in the center of the Parisian high society and the growing importance for fashion of both rue de la Paix, where the house of Worth had opened in 1858, and the palais Garnier against the Théâtre Italien, closer to Charvet's original location. Though Charvet began to offer women's blouses and men's suits in its new store, men's shirts remained the house's specialty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn American journalist, visiting the store in 1909, reported \"there were shirts of every variety and almost every color, artistic enough to make one long for them all, and each and every one most beautifully made. The store was noted for its displays, compared in 1906 to Loie Fuller performances and Charvet paid an \"immense salary\" to the window decorator, who displayed \"each day a new series\", producing \"veritable works of art in his harmonious combinations of scarves and handkerchiefs and hosiery\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharvet remains the oldest shop on place Vendôme, which explains both the inclusion of the location into the firm's name, and the use as a logoof the sun device, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart to ornate the handrails of the balconies of the Place, which was built in honor of Louis XIV, the Sun King.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational recognition\u003cbr\u003eIn 1855 Charvet exhibited shirts and drawers at the Paris World's fair. When the king-to-be Edward VII visited the fair, he ordered Parisian shirts, as many other foreign visitors did and remained a loyal customer of Charvet, \"honoring him during forty years with a special kindness\". Charvet created for the prince of Wales a certain style of shirt collar, the stand-up turn-down collar, also referred to as the H.R.H. collar, which became very popular at the end of the 19th century. \u003cbr\u003en 1863, Charvet was considered the first producer of fine shirts in Paris, claiming superiority \"for taste and for elegance\" on cuffs, bib and fit. Charvet developed its specialization in royal trousseaux. Other royal patrons confirmed this princely speciality of Charvet, such as Alfonso XII of Spain (1878), Antoine, duke of Montpensier (1879), Philippe, comte de Paris (1893), sultan Abdul Hamid II..\u003cbr\u003eThe clientele of Charvet also included artists such as Charles Baudelaire, George Sand, Alfred de Musset, Verlaine, Offenbach, the French president Paul Deschanel, noted for his elegant Charvet cravats. but also members of the high society gravitating around dandies such as Robert de Montesquiou and Evander Berry Wall, or artists as Jean Cocteau, who called Charvet \"magic\" and wrote that it is \"where the rainbow finds ideas\"and his friend Sergei Diaghilev. According to Proust, whose shirts, ties and waistcoats were from Charvet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharvet shirts were imported into the United States as early as 1853. By 1860, Charvet's shirts turnover was equally divided between luxury bespoke shirts sold in the Paris store and ready made shirts for export, particularly to Russia, Great-Britain and Havana. Also, following the custom of the time, designs and models were sold to American stores, to be locally reproduced.In the 1920s, Charvet's name was associated in the United States with linen fabrics in \"startingly floreated\" patterns, used for shirt bibs and cuffs. Nevertheless, into the middle of the 20th century, Charvet was selling only bespoke shirts in the Paris store. In 1908, Charvet was the first European company to import American suits hand tailored in Chicago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many European companies, Charvet was greatly affected by World War I : \"our looms have been destroyed, our collections pillaged, our printing blocks burned\". Nevertheless, it continued to send representatives to the United States to show collections of novelties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 1912, with the development of the Art Deco style, Charvet, along with fashion designer Paul Poiret, started to commission art work from the French painter Raoul Dufy, the \"granddaddy of modem chic\".\u003cbr\u003eThis was followed by more silk squares, woven silk fabrics for vests and printed ramie fabrics for dressing gowns and shirts. Some famous customers of the period were fashion designer Coco Chanel and the Maharadjah of Patiala who once placed a single order of 86 dozen shirts.\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 1920s, Charvet was considered to produce \"the finest cravats in the world\".\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1930s, some window displays were made by painters as André Derain or Maurice de Vlaminck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen in 1965 the Charvet heirs sought to sell the firm, they were contacted by an American buyer. The French government, knowing Charvet had been for a long time General de Gaulle's shirtmaker, grew concerned. The French Ministry of Industry instructed Denis Colban, Charvet's main supplier, to locate a French buyer. Rather than approaching investors he decided to purchase the company himself.\u003cbr\u003eUntil then, Charvet was operated in much the same way as it had been since its foundation: a customer was shown only what he requested, in most cases something fairly conservative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Mr. Colban bought the firm, things changed. The change started when Baron Rothschild came into the store and asked to see some shirting fabrics, one of which was pink. When M. Colban, following previous Charvet practice, advised against the color, the Baron retorted, \"If not for me, who is it for?\" Some time later, Nelson Rockefeller requested some shirt swatches be sent to New York. Bold stripes and unusual colors were sent and eventually selected. Colban had changed Charvet's policies as well as its role in the design process with the customer.\u003cbr\u003eA few years after, he was one of the first of many famous European shops and designers to sell ready-to-wear shirts, ties and accessories to Bergdorf Goodman.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, even while developing these new pre-made lines of products, Colban always insisted on the bespoke aspect of the firm as its core identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColban refused numerous offers to sell the company, maintaining the single store in Paris and continuing the house as a family business. After his death in 1994, the company has been managed by his two children, Anne-Marie and Jean-Claude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern customers include French presidents François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac, American presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, French actors Catherine Deneuve and Philippe Noiret, American movie stars Gary Cooper, Yul Brinner but also Sofia Coppola and Bruce Willis, fashion designers Yves Saint Laurent...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharvet today\u003cbr\u003eOf the five most prominent French shirtmakers of the 20th century—Bouvin, Charvet, Poirier, Seelio, and Seymous—all but Charvet have closed. It is also the only remaining shirtmaker on Place Vendôme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the company is to give its customers the option to custom order or customize everything it sells, from neckwear (including bow ties) to underwear, with \"the idea that a garment that carries a personal stamp exceeds any other form of luxury\". Bolts of fabric on display throughout the store can be held against oneself to see how they really look. Charvet creates exclusive fabrics for all its collections and prides itself of going a long way to satisfy customers, remaking on request ties purchased years earlier or changing a shirt's frayed collar and cuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Place Vendôme store\u003cbr\u003eThe store is located in one of the hôtels particuliers of Place Vendôme, Number 28. This building has a three-story Jules Hardouin Mansart facade, behind which Charvet occupies seven floors, each owner on the Place having built to his own needs. This is the only store directly operated by Charvet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharvet Shirts\u003cbr\u003eThe \"unique\" care for precision and symmetry expresses French classicism and is, according to Marie-Claude Siccard, a paradigm of the care for quality in luxury products.\u003cbr\u003eIn particular, a lot of attention is given to the regularity of stitches and the matching of patterns. On a typical striped ready-to-wear shirt and unlike most other makes, the placket is matched with the front, the face of the collar with the bottom, the collar stripes line up with the yoke stripes, the yoke stripes with the sleeve stripes, the sleeve stripes with the sleeve placket stripes, and finally the shade of yarn used for the buttonholes is matched to the stripe, the whole process creating the feeling the shirt is all one piece.\u003cbr\u003e The yoke is one-piece and curved to follow the back. The left cuff is made one-quarter inch longer than the right to allow for the watch. The allowance is lower for made-to-order shirts. The cuff is made more or less wide, depending if the customer wants his watch to remain hidden under the cuff or to show. \u003cbr\u003eAccording to a Charvet representative, many customers have two different types of shirts: those for evening wear, intended to be worn with a flat watch, and the others for day wear, with a thicker watch. For men, shirt tails are square and vented for a clean look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor women, they are rounded, with a signature side-seam gusset. The collar is very clean-cut, made from six layers of unfused cloth for a dressy, yet not stiff, appearance. Instead, a free floating stiffener aims to provide more comfort and a better shape. The stitching on a standard collar is four millimeters from the edge. The stitching of the top and the edges are precise and well-planned. The shirts are stitched with twin rows of single-needle tailoring, sewn one row at a time for minimum puckering and maximum fit. There are twenty stitches per inch. Buttons are made from Australian mother-of-pearl, cut from the surface of the oyster shell for added strength and greater color clarity. For formal shirts, bibs are hand pleated. Though its traditional ready-to-wear shirts are trim, the company has also introduced in 2009 a \"slim fit\" line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe care involved in the process of making a bespoke shirt is, according to Lara Marlowe, an expression of French perfectionism. It requires a minimum of 28 measurements and an initial version made in basic cotton. The fit is \"full and snug at the same time\". The minimum order is one shirt. There are only fifty shirt-makers working in the Saint-Gaultier atelier and only one person works on a shirt at a time, whether custom or ready-to-wear, doing everything except for the buttonholes and pressing the shirt. Each shirt takes thirty days to complete.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MAISON W.
