What to know about Sandro

Sandro is a Paris-based contemporary label founded in 1984 by Évelyne Chetrite, with a menswear line added in 2008 under her son Ilan Chetrite, now creative director. The aesthetic is Parisian-rock: tweed and boucle jackets, sharp blazers, slip and lace dresses, leather outerwear, logo knitwear and chain-strap bags, sold at accessible-luxury prices. Sandro is the largest brand in Euronext-listed group SMCP, alongside Maje, Claudie Pierlot and Fursac; SMCP shareholders launched a sale of a majority block of shares in 2025 following the Shandong Ruyi bond default dispute.

How Sandro fits

Overall fit

runs small

Shoppers widely report that Sandro Homme cuts to a slim French block that runs about one size small, with narrow shoulders and a close chest, so most people go up a size from their usual US/UK fit.

Tip: Size up one from your usual size — especially in tailoring, knitwear and anything you want to layer over.
