French Women Buy Their Basics Here, and Now, I See Why

If there’s one thing French women know how to do, it’s make basics look impossibly chic. Their closets are lined with effortless essentials—perfectly cut trousers, crisp white shirts, and knitwear that feels just as luxurious as it looks. While their styling tricks have been well-documented (yes, they really do swear by this three-piece outfit), the real secret lies in where they’re shopping. After some digging, I found the brand they’re all quietly in love with: St. Agni.

The Australian label has become the not-so-secret Parisian staple for those who prefer understated luxury over fleeting trends. Founded in Byron Bay, St. Agni has perfected the art of refined minimalism. Think structured-yet-relaxed silhouettes, high-quality natural fabrics, and a neutral palette that makes getting dressed too easy. The brand offers everything from casual T-shirts and sweaters to a range of leather jackets, pants, skirt, bags, and more to a fabulous selection of timeless dresses. In other words, the brand embodies that effortless aesthetic French women are famous for.
