Officine Générale is a Paris label founded in 2012 by Pierre Mahéo and based in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. It makes men's and women's clothing that blends soft tailoring with workwear: unstructured blazers, pleated trousers, camp-collar and Japanese-selvedge shirting, knitwear and outerwear cut from French, British and Italian fabrics, with production in France, Italy and Portugal. Mahéo remains founder and creative director and describes the aesthetic as "beautiful normality" rather than fashion. In October 2023 the brand sold a large minority stake to New York fund The Untitled Group, with further backing from Bpifrance, to fund retail expansion.

Does Officine Generale run big or small?
Officine Generale fits slightly small. Most non-slim builds are happier sizing up one, especially in shirting and tailoring; keep your usual size only if you're lean and want the intended trim silhouette. Shoppers generally find Officine Générale cuts to a lean French/European standard that runs about half to a full size snug versus US labels, with soft unstructured construction that reads relaxed even when the measurements are trim.
