The nautical sweater : the Breton eldorado. "In the true line of the Breton tradition, the nautical sweater has been very much in fashion for a number of years. Two competitors challenge each other on this booming market. On one side, Saint-James, an over one hundred years old company who didn't want to leave the village the name of which it took. On the other side, its competitor, boosted by an ambitious manager, who doesn't hesitate to transfer part of his production abroad. Is it still possible to keep producing in France at competitive prices ? How do you make a traditionnal product look younger ? Can the Breton style appeal to Japanese and American women ?" |
