Breton T-shirt
To coincide with the opening of our Paris office, Breton brand Le Minor has reimagined its iconic marinièrein colourways exclusive to Monocle. The shirt is made in France from 100 per cent cotton and features a matelot stripe in an unbleached colour – a reminder of the natural cotton's appearance before the dyeing process. Meanwhile, the deep navy blue is reminiscent of the sea, harking back to Le Minor's Breton roots and summers on France's windy northern coast.
