Our Story

Jean-Francois Iyengar was born from contrast — and harmony.

Paris inspires the design. A city where style is instinctive, elegance is effortless, and simplicity speaks louder than excess. Every silhouette reflects this philosophy: clean, relaxed, and timeless, with a hint of playfulness.

South India brings the craft. Here, fabric is respected, detail is intentional, and skill is passed down through generations. Each shirt is carefully cut, stitched, and finished by artisans who believe that excellence lives in the smallest details.

We don’t chase trends.
We perfect essentials.

Jean-Francois Iyengar stands for premium shirts that feel natural, wear beautifully, and age gracefully — shirts that fit your life, not the other way around.

Two cultures. One standard.
Designed in Paris. Handcrafted in South India.

A Note from the Founder

Jean-Francois Iyengar began with a simple idea:
What if a shirt could carry both design intelligence and soulful craftsmanship?

Paris taught me restraint — that true elegance is subtle.
South India taught me patience — that quality cannot be rushed.

This brand is a reflection of both. Every shirt is designed to feel effortless, crafted to last, and detailed enough to be quietly special.

Thank you for choosing something made with intention.

— Jean-Francois Iyengar
