American Vintage Zolly Cardigan

American Vintage is a ready-to-wear fashion brand that was founded in Marseille, France, in 2005 by Mickaël Azoulay. Despite the name, the brand is inherently French, focusing on elevated basics, soft fabrics, and vintage-inspired silhouettes.

Starting with a humble line of t-shirts, the brand has expanded into a full range of apparel including the popular 'Zolly' knitwear line. Manufacturing for American Vintage products occurs globally, with many of their synthetic and wool-blend knitwear pieces produced in specialist factories in China, while other items are sourced from Portugal and Italy. The brand remains under the independent ownership of its founder through the parent company American Vintage SAS, maintaining its headquarters in the South of France.
