Our history
Founded in Marseille in 2005, American Vintage is a timeless, colourful and creative French brand. It was after founder Michaël Azoulay's many trips to the USA that the brand's first iconic T-shirts burst into our lifestyles. American Vintage offers unique materials that invite you on a sensory journey. Subtle, authentic and predominantly natural to the touch available in a wide range of colours and prints. Pieces that you can mix and match ad infinitum, that will be with you every day, and that you'll never tire of. Neo basics mixed with signature pieces, companions for life. It's a brand that's free, sincere and instinctive, that has a presence in over 30 countries, and that allows every individual to feel good in their clothes, to dare to mix and match, and to freely express their personality.
American Vintage allows me to me keep learning every day and there is always new challenges arising that motivates me.
