Maje
Maje is a Parisian accessible-luxury womenswear label founded in 1998 by Judith Milgrom, sister of Sandro founder Evelyne Chetrite. It is part of listed French group SMCP, alongside Sandro, Claudie Pierlot and Fursac, with roughly 1,600 group stores across some 48 countries. Collections cover tweed and knit jackets, ruffled and lace dresses, denim, boots and chain-strap leather bags, mixing bohemian detail with tailored Parisian silhouettes. SMCP's majority block, tied to former Chinese owner Shandong Ruyi's defaulted vehicle European TopSoho, has been under a creditor-led sale process since late 2025.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | runs small | slim blouses, often with ruffles or volume in the sleeve but a narrow body | short body, sometimes designed to be tucked or worn cropped | Size up if you are broader through the bust or shoulders; the sleeves often have room even when the body doesn't. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | slightly small | tailored, fitted through waist and hip before the leg opens | generally short — ankle-grazing on average heights | Size up for comfort at the waist; expect a cropped break unless you are petite. | medium |
| Jeans & denim | slightly small | slim to straight, high-rise with a snug waist and hip | short to regular inseam — often reads cropped on taller frames | Consider one size up if between sizes, and check the inseam if you are tall. | medium |
| Jackets | runs small | structured and slim, tweed and biker styles cut close to the body | cropped to hip-length | Size up at least once — shoulders, sleeves and bust are the usual pinch points, and factor in layering. | high |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs small | fitted, close to the body with narrow sleeves | short, often hitting at or above the waistband | Go up a size unless you want a deliberately body-hugging fit. | medium |
Does Maje run big or small?
Maje runs small. Most shoppers do best going up one size (e.g. Maje 2 rather than 1) — especially for jackets, blazers and anything cut through the bust or shoulders. Maje uses French numeric sizing (roughly 1 = XS/S, 2 = S/M, 3 = M/L, 4 = L) and is widely reported to run small and slim, with a short, close-to-the-body Parisian cut that most people size up in.
