Jacobs & Jacobs History

The Jacobs & Jacobs brand was founded in France in 1987 by a Bordeaux-based trader renowned in the textile industry, notably for having created the Buffalo jeans brand in the 1970s. Inspired at the time by the myth of the American West, with its tartan-lined oiled jackets or very distinctive pieces, the men's brand Jacobs & Jacobs, although very well known in the Bordeaux region and of high quality, was unable to find a large enough clientele. In 1996, two partners bought the brand's old stock and sold it on the markets of the Bordeaux region. They had the opportunity to buy Jacobs & Jacobs and developed a first collection of men's shirts that quickly found popularity with customers.

A Timeless CollectionClassic Essentials and Beachwear

The partners parted ways due to different visions and the brand evolved into two distinct developments. David Dray created Jacobs & Jacobs Originals with a new concept and aimed to reach a wider customer base by developing lines for men, women, children and accessories. He and his wife Priscilla Dray decided to create a chic and relaxed lifestyle brand, offering timeless collections and beachwear to wear on the beach as well as in the city. The goal is to revisit essential wardrobe classics by adding a touch of originality, for example by using subtle Liberty details. With a high standard of attention to detail and perfect finishes. The collection is designed in France and exclusively manufactured in Portugal, it mainly uses noble and natural materials such as French linen, Tencel, an ecological and sustainable fiber, but also delicate materials such as the emblematic English Liberty of London fabric, fil a fil, poplin and cotton voile...

French Atlantic Coast

Since its creation in the heart of the chic and sunny village of Moulleau in Arcachon, Jacobs & Jacobs Originals has offered a collection of essentials and cultivated the elegance of vacation season after season. A chic that she also wants to pass on from generation to generation with the concepts of matching father & son and mother & daughter looks with a wide range of models and prints designed for the whole family. Jacobs & Jacobs Originals, with its chic and casual style, is also a great success with holidaymakers at the Cap Ferret peninsula market, where celebrities buy their linen shirts or little Liberty dresses incognito.
