Size guide

Our pieces are Italian, and Italian clothing comes up smaller than French clothing. An Italian 40 corresponds to a French 36, in other words a size S. On a pair of jeans, the difference is felt straight away: take the time to check before ordering.

Size conversion

Our size	France	Italy
XXS	32	36
XS	34	38
S	36	40
M	38	42
L	40	44
XL	42	46

Some styles go down to 3XS or up beyond XL: the sizes actually available are shown on the product page. A few knits are offered in one size.

This conversion is a guide, not a rule. The same size does not wear the same way in a rigid raw denim and in a washed denim that has already given.

Denim, a special case

Raw denim does not stretch, or only very slightly. It must fit snugly from the first try-on. If it is tight in the fitting room, it will still be tight in six months.

Stretch denim gives by half a size with wear, usually at the waist and knees. If it fits perfectly at the first try-on, it will be a little loose after a few days. If in doubt, take the size below.

On wide cuts (balloon, wide leg, palazzo), the size is determined at the waistband, not at the thigh. The volume of the leg is drawn into the pattern; it does not depend on your figure.

How to take your measurements

Measure yourself in your underwear, with the tape measure flat against the body, without pulling it tight or holding your stomach in. Get someone to help you if you can: measurements taken on yourself are often inaccurate.

Waist: at the natural hollow, just above the navel. This is the measurement that decides the size of a pair of jeans.
Hips: at the widest point, about twenty centimetres below the waist.
Bust: at the fullest point, with the tape measure level across the back.
Inside leg: from the crotch to the bottom of the hem, along the inner leg. This is the usable length of a pair of trousers.
Rise: from the crotch to the waistband. This is what determines whether a pair of jeans is high-rise, regular or low-rise.

Between two sizes

On jeans in rigid denim, take the size above: a gaping waistband can be taken in, a waistband that is too tight cannot be put right.

On stretch jeans, take the size below.

On a knit or a loose shirt, take your usual size: the volume is part of the piece's design.

The leg is cut so wide that the piece reads as a wrap skirt, although it really is a pair of trousers. The waist is gathered on a drawstring, which concentrates the fullness at the top and lets the denim open out freely towards the hem. The length stops at mid-calf.

Gathered high waist with drawstring, side pockets, very wide legs, straight hem. Visible topstitching typical of jeans construction.

A strong piece that builds the whole outfit on its own. It calls for a short or tucked-in top so that the gathered waist stays visible, as it is what structures the silhouette. With boots, the mid-calf length falls just right.

Gathered high waist, very wide legs. Available from XS to L.

Dense raw denim without elastane, which gives the volume the body it needs to flare out like a corolla instead of dropping. It will develop a patina at the folds and at the gathers of the waist, where the fabric works hardest.

Wear with crew-neck T-shirt with chest print or short check jacket with patch pockets, or belted denim shirt dress, or short-sleeved check shirt, or viscose and lurex crew-neck T-shirt, or light denim blue mandarin-collar denim jacket, or short three-quarter-sleeve check jacket in grey and, or short jacket with gold buttons, or fluid check shirt, or check shirt with balloon sleeves in chocolate and rust, or short check shirt, or short houndstooth jacket in chocolate and camel, or abstract-print slip dress in taupe and.
