FALL / WINTER 2021
Le Mont St Michel is a young brand with a long history. Specialized in everlasting Workwear since 1913, the brand is taken over in 1998 by Alexandre Milan which turns it into a urban & modern fashion label, still in line with the functional soul coming from its workwear legacy.
Alexandre Milan added to this legacy his own family craftsmanship - which is almost as old : the legacy of Les Tricotages de L'Aa ("Aa Knitting Factory"), factory founded by his great grandmother in 1919. The brand's design studio is still located in the very same beautiful location of the Monthorin Castle in French Brittany, where we meticulously store decades of textile archives: a genuine treasure when it comes to inspiration which and which we revisit for each collection.
Since Le Mont St Michel was founded at the beginning of the 20th century, our workwear has always been worn by many people. From workers to fashion addicts, these garments represent authenticity and craftsmanship.
As different as these people can be, what unites them is that they all seem to work on something: since 1913 they create the world around them.
Iconic garments, brand new or vintage, from deadstocks or with a beautiful patina. An orderly mess with both workwear and delicate knitwear. These garments which - by being stored in a location with an industrial past - live alongside utilitarian raw objects shaped by the hands which used them. A selection of garments & items which will now see the light of day. The result of times when we reinvent things by looking into the past and of our lifestyle.
We wish you'll find a great spot for them in your wardrobe.
Our sweaters are designed in the historic design studio from the brand, in Brittany, a few miles away from the Mont St Michel. We are deeply in love with this part of France which inspires us.
Miss Filleul is an expert of hand knitting. She worked for over 30 years for the family knitting mill "Les Tricotages de l'Aa". She still trains our stylists and product managers as this is her passion, but also because she wants our very rare craftsmanship to be passed on to next generation rather than being lost. The sample will then be sent to our partner workshops to knit our sweaters in small series.
Here we are, Christmas time and its festive meals are just around the corner! At Mont Saint Michel, every year, we like to make the classic « chocolate rolled log » a.k.a «Bûche de Noël» , which never fails to bring us back to childhood! However, we do prefer lightening up a bit the rich and buttery chocolate cream traditionally spread on the soft biscuit ... Which is why, we suggest you...
Our creation studios being located only a stone's throw away from the sea, it would be wrong not to indulge into the delicacies that our surroundings can offer. Fish, shells, and other seaweed, there is plenty of material for us to enjoy ourselves in the kitchen! October through February is the optimal season to enjoy delicious cockles. Simply with onions, wine and herbs or with lemon and...
November. Autumn is slowly coming to an end, days are getting shorter and cooler. There’s nothing better than to warm hearts and bodies with a family sized dish of apples, baked with love! It’s seasonal, heartwarming, and awfully simple to make. To make this iconic dessert even more delicious, we suggest you garnish it with a delicious salted caramel sauce and roasted buckwheat seeds for a...
What if you took advantage of the Indian summer to go to the Breton "corsair city", the well-named Saint-Malo? Fewer tourists, more sun: the perfect equation to go to the Malouine city. You must pass by the ramparts, which survived the Allied bombings of 1944, before entering the Old Town: old houses, private mansions, courtyards and picturesque passages. A digest of Breton history that is sure...
In this autumnal weather, we desperately need some sunshine on our plates to feel a little more vacation! This rustic pie with yellow zucchini, onion, mustard and parmesan is as good cold as it is fresh out of the oven. The principle of the rustic pie? Forget the pie pan, simply arm yourself with a rolling pin (but a glass bottle will also do), parchment paper and a baking sheet. You place the...
