Lilly Pulitzer Teams Up With Saint James, the French Nautical-inspired Brand, for Capsule Collection

Lilly Pulitzer will introduce its first international collaboration with French brand Saint James.

Called Lilly Puliltzer x Saint James, the capsule collection merges French coastal fashion with the sun-soaked spirit of resortwear.

The 10-piece, limited-edition collection is inspired by both the French Riviera and Palm Beach, Fla. It features 10 crafted pieces, each made in France by Saint James, featuring Saint James’ iconic Breton stripes and Lilly Pulitzer’s signature prints. The collaboration introduces two exclusive colorways: Azure and Rose Soleil.

“This collaboration marks an exciting moment for Lilly as we launch abroad for the first time bringing together the glamour of the French Riviera and Lilly’s legendary prints,” said Mira Fain, chief creative officer at Lilly Pulitzer. “The collection reimagines nautical style with a fresh, Lilly twist, delivering striking pieces that are both classic and unapologetically bold. It is a celebration of the unmistakable spirit of both iconic brands,” she said.

Lilly Pulitzer x Saint James will be available to shop on Wednesday from the Lilly Pulitzer website, Lilly Pulitzer stores across the U.S. and select Saint James stores worldwide.

Prices range from $129 to $289.

“This unique and colorful collection celebrates the mystique of the French Riviera, blending Lilly’s iconic hand-painted prints with our signature French coastal style, said Luc Lesénécal, chief executive officer of Saint James. “Together we have created an elevated, fresh and vibrant collection that perfectly captures the essence of the season.”

Saint Lames, which was founded in Normandy, France, in 1889, has been making nautical-inspired apparel for more than a century. Originally known for outfitting Breton fishermen with durable wool sweaters, the brand became popular or its signature striped shirt, coastal fashion and effortless French style.

As reported, Saint James will open its first pop-up at the new Printemps in New York City on May 15 and remain for one month.

Lilly Pulitzer started her eponymous company in 1959 with a juice stand in Palm Beach. In need of an everyday uniform, Pulitzer asked her dressmaker for something to camouflage splashes of citrus juice. The result was a comfortable sleeveless shift made of colorful printed cotton. Today, the brand is well known for its imaginative prints and lively colors.
