PolandThe luxury shirt brand Charvet, known for its nearly 200-year history and clientele including celebrities, politicians, and royalty, has been acquired by the Chanel group. Founded in Paris in 1838 by Joseph-Christophe Charvet, the brand was renowned for its craftsmanship and innovation in men's fashion, such as creating the modern collar design. Historically, notable clients included figures like Charles Baudelaire, Winston Churchill, and Coco Chanel. The acquisition allows Chanel to strengthen its presence in men's fashion while preserving Charvet's independence as a separate entity under the Chanel umbrella. Charvet continues to operate from its single manufacturing facility in Saint-Gaultier, France.
