Story & heritage

The official workwear page quotes agnès b. wanting to start again from scratch by taking workwear pieces as a basis: painter’s pants, workman’s jackets, mechanic’s jumpsuits and overalls. Jackets are the most direct expression of that practical vocabulary.

Materials & craft

The house connects workwear to over-dyeing cotton and thicker cottons such as denim, giving pieces a durable, worn-in look. Current jackets in cotton jersey, raw denim and indigo denim keep the same utilitarian base while fitting into a refined city wardrobe.

How to choose & style

A navy workwear jacket is the quiet layer that makes a tee and jeans feel intentional. Choose denim for a more literal utility read, or a Mandarin-collar version when the outfit needs structure without tailoring.
