French Girl Vibe
This is my fourth purchase from Saint James! The quality and workmanship is impeccable. Been wearing them for years and I always get compliments. These shirts make me feel like I am vacationing in France!

Quality Speaks for Itself
There is nothing like natural fabric against your skin. The Merdame II cotton shirt is amazing: soft and comfortable, with a true-to-size fit. This will become my go-to top, especially with the matching beanie!

Another Great St. James Product!
love this weight...have many St. James shirts-all great!
