Caricature (1920s) by Sem of Berry Wall at Charvet

Charvet Place Vendôme or simply Charvet is a French high-end bespoke and ready-to-wear shirtmaker from Paris, France, with a flagship store located at 28 Place Vendôme in Paris. Founded in 1838, the company is the world's first shirt shop ever. In relation to its bespoke level of service,[n. 1] Charvet's clients list has been compared to an "international fan base".[4] Since the middle of the 19th century, the shirtmaker has been specialized in "royal haberdashery" and notable for its wide range of colours and patterns, which attracted artists.[n. 2] In the 20th century, with the development of fashion design, designers and fashion journalists became a significant customer group. Some other customers have developed such an interest in the brand that it has become a notable aspect of their personality.

Notes

  1. ^ According to the Financial Times, "bespoke shirt maker Charvet has long been revered for the attention it provides its clients."[1] The fact that the company does not communicate on its customers list[2] has been considered as a sign of this level of service.[3]
  2. ^ Elegant life picked up in the early 19th century Ancien Régime's aristocratic life.[5] As claimed by Balzac in his Treatise of Elegant Life, it set the "triple aristocracy of money, power and talent".[6] From then on, artists participated to the elegant life. "Their works proceed of their person, bear its mark and testify of its value as the walk, the style, the luxury of the furnishing proceeds of the person of the man of quality".[5]
  3. ^ Some pieces on display at the Topkapı Palace.
  4. ^ Warrant of Proveedor de la Real Casa granted in 1878.
  5. ^ Warrant of Proveedor de la Real Casa granted in 1913.
  6. ^ Warrant of Proveedor de la Real Casa granted in 1879.
  7. ^ Since he was Prince of Wales. Royal Warrant of Chemisier in Paris granted in 1869.
  8. ^ The shirtmaker achieved significant coverage in Irish media when it emerged that former Taoiseach Charles Haughey, then after nickmamed "Charvet Charlie",[11] had misappropriated over $50,000 of state funds while in office to purchase shirts and dressing gowns from Charvet, where the staff addressed him as "your excellency,[12] and had them delivered via the diplomatic "black box" system,[13] at a time when he was exhorting Irish citizens to "tighten their belts". This resulted in a surge of Irish visitors at the Paris store.[14] According to the Boston Globe, The conspicuous Irish visitors to the Charvet shop "pose for photographs outside the venerable shop, and sometimes venture inside to gawk at the crystal chandeliers, the oak paneling, the Oriental rugs and the cuff links in bowls scattered around the shop. And they pose indelicate questions about their former prime minister".[15]
  9. ^ Who had the labels of his Charvet shirts removed.[17]
  10. ^ Who once placed a single order of 86 dozen shirts.[21]
  11. ^ Warrant granted in 1893.
  12. ^ "Barton's haberdashery [came from] Charvet's, Place Vendôme, and embrace[d] a varied assortment of colored striped shirts, with drawers and collars of the same material to match each shirt, white silk undershirts, beige silk pajamas (emblazoned with white frogs), and white, watered-silk suspenders. Each of his pairs of trousers ha[d] its own pair of suspenders".[27] "He had been one of the twenties' leading bon vivants, elegant in Charvet cravats and dove-gray spats."[28]
  13. ^ The French writer wore a red silken Charvet dressing gown when he committed suicide, to ensure blood did not show too much.[44]
  14. ^ Bernard-Henri Lévy, often referred to as BHL, is described as a "provocateur", a "showman", who "wears the mantle of polarizing intellectual quite happily along with made-to-measure clothing from French house Charvet".[49] His shirt style has become a signature,[50] but he says he "has no interest discussing the suavely unbuttoned garment that for his fans and his detractors alike has become synonymous with his name."[51] Nevertheless, his critics consider this unbuttoned white shirt "is an important element of BHL's TV and public images and it tells a lot about the man. If you tried it with your own shirt, the collar would sag. But BHL's shirts are specially designed by the famous shirt-maker Charvet, with collars that withstand the unbuttoning and never disappear under his jacket".[52]
  15. ^ Menjou had the reputation to be Hollywood's "best dressed man" and lived up to it by coming onto the set each day with Charvet dressing gowns.[54]
  16. ^ "His shirts and waistcoasts were from Charvet, he told me. What interested him in Charvet was the sign of a certain world, of a certain elegance"[61]
  17. ^ Asked by a reporter of Fashion Week Daily: "Do you have a uniform?". He answered: "Black cashmere sweater, Charvet shirt, Levi's, and Converse All Stars."[71] "He has bought his dress shirts at Charvet in Paris for the last 15 years", wrote the New York Times in 2004.[72]
  18. ^ She used Charvet ties as belts for herself[73] and as a ballet costume designer[74]
  19. ^ Louboutin wears Charvet shirts[77] and collects Charvet ties:" If I go shopping, it might be to buy two or three more ties, which I never wear, or shirts from Charvet on Place Vendome. Here they have the most magnificent colored ties: it's like looking at a lovely garden. I have tons of them at home and I am perfectly happy not to wear them."[78] One of his line of lady shoes had "witty, wicked designs made of Charvet tie fabric".[79]
  20. ^ A "crisp white Charvet shirt, made to his own specifications by the famed Paris menswear store"[82] is Rucci's "signature".[83] His fabric of choice is "the "heavy, white piqué" that he replenishes three times a year. There is a tradition of care [at Charvet] that the want to be perfect. It is really couture for men" declares Rucci [... He] estimates that he now owns at least 110 of the shirts that have become his trademark, every last one in white piqué with "two lowercase Rs embroidered in cinnabar [his signature color] at the base of the neck [...] I must have tried 25 other fabrics but I always end up giving them away [...] My white piqué shirts empowers me."[3]
  21. ^ Talley wears "tie[s] and socks […] from Charvet of Paris, the same couturier that used to make - along with the Duke of Windsor's shirts - [his] boxer shorts, until that became "cost prohibitive".[84] He is also keen about Charvet shirts:"I have a wonderful white cotton shirt. I always love white cotton shirts. Pique collar and cuffs, from Paris. It wasn't imported from Paris; I went to Paris and had it fitted. I had fittings. I have fittings for my neckties. My neckties from Charvet. You have to have fittings for your tie … so it's the right length. My socks are from Charvet. I don't have fittings for those".[85] He explains: "I admire perfection in small details. Look at these cuffs. (He holds his shirt under [a journalist's] eyes) Look at the stitches on the piqué. Where can this be done today? Only Charvet in Paris, Place Vendôme. All my shirts are custom made at Charvet."[86] In a January issue of Vogue, he wrote his New Year's fashion resolution was "to order custom Charvet pique tennis shorts and silk kneesocks the color of clotted cream".[87]
  22. ^ "At once an epicure and a mystic, [Bigelow] professed an ascetic religion and wore beautiful Charvet haberdashery",[89] particularly neckties[90] and silk shirts. Charvet "disapprove[d] of the silk shirts, the use of which, he allege[d], [was] confined to Mr James Hazen Hyde and a few bounders of his class. Yet, to please [him], Mr Charvet kindly consent[ed] to make [him] a pattern silk shirt, provided he [could] accompany it by a pattern linen pleated shirt, to be made up starchless, like a handkerchief.".[91]
  23. ^ According to a Chicago Tribune's journalist: "Historians should note that, although Blagojevich has made much of his humble beginnings, his elegant pearl-gray [is from] Charvet […] he now buys only Charvet."[92] Charvet is noted as his "preferred [tie] brand".[93]
  24. ^ Mr Kelly's ideal style is "bespoke suits and Charvet ties."[94] Often noted for wearing Charvet ties,[95] he admits a "personal weakness for […] Charvet neckwear",[96] which is "high quality and look[s] the best".[97] On other occasions, he presented this predilection as part of his business behaviour, saying: "Contrary to what was suggested,if the mayor replaces me, I will not miss wearing my [...] Charvet tie".[98]
  25. ^ Tang, who likes to wear at home "all days pyjamas - custom made in cotton by Charvet",[99] has Charvet embroider " "Do not disturb DT" or "DT sleeping" on the pocket. [He says] the most luxurious thing is to change your fine Egyptian-cotton pyjamas and sheets each day"[100]
  26. ^ Berry Wall, nick names the "King of the Dudes, added to Charvet's fame by the caricatures of him produced by Sem. At that time, Wall was living with his wife and chow dog Chi-Chi in the Hotel Meurice, near Charvet, where he had the same signature ties and "spread eagle" collar shirts made for himself and his dog. Wall's famous "startling" striped shirts in red and sky blue were well known, with their very high false collars of a pattern different from the shirt's. His dog not only dined with him,[101] but also wore Charvet collars and ties in the same style and fabric as his master's.[102] The caricature shown had so much success that the Paris restaurant Ciro's, where Wall was a regular patron, had a reproduction of the dog made, in stuffed fabric, with his master's false collar around the neck, to be offered to guests.[103] The caricature (top, right) is reproduced in François Chaille's Book of Ties,[8] but Chaille fails to identify Wall.
