Gifts and souvenirs Finistère

This store, located above the Tanguy Tower, near the Recouvrance bridge, has specialized in the sale of military items since 1938. It equips the French Navy and merchant navy, the Maritime Affairs and port officers, and also offers the fitting of military stripes, medals and badges. At Col Bleu, you will find many accessories and various objects to bring back as a souvenir: bachis with red pompom, marinières, vareuses, ties with marine motifs, barometers, bells, watches, etc. And between two shelves, you will even find clothes for children and babies! Many people find gifts among the brand name and quality clothing.

In 1938 Bonneteries d'Armor was created and later on became very successful since the end of the 50s with the famous navy sweater and striped jersey Today the company produces and markets 4 different brands: " Armor-Lux" for all marine clothes and undergarments, "Terre et Meré" dedicated to women rather " branchées", " Bermudas" for garments inspired by water sports and " Armor kids" for children. With values (quality, innovation and ethics), the brand has won many hearts. And, in 2005 the Max Havelaar cotton center was created to implant sustainable development. A 1,500 m² shop in which some production machines are constantly exhibited is located next to the factory. Apart from new collections of clothes, this shop offers regional products, decoration items, textile and François le Villec items. By the car park an Armor Lux clearance center, located in a large warehouse is available. Here, discounts are offered. Without forgetting the two braderie sales from the end of November and early May…

Appreciated for the quality of its clothes, but also for its know-how and its marine connotation, it is part of the Breton identity and heritage. Two Armor-Lux stores are located in Brest, one in the rue de Siam, the other in the Kergaradec area. Both offer the different collections of the brand: sailors, as well as oilskins, coats, dresses, scarves, pants, hats, sweaters and other striped vests... The clothes are adapted to the city and the seaside and tend to modernize the famous stripes every year.

If the knit striped and sailor sweater made the success of the brand, the company now produces and sells four brands, "Armor-Lux" for underwear and marine style clothing "sea and land" dedicated to quite trendy women, "Bermudes" for protective clothing and sportswear and "Armor kids" for children. Identity and quality, the brand has never deviated from these two characteristics, the concern for sustainable development joins the other two. Next to its own creations, the shop also offers other selections - local products, decoration, tableware - elected based on four criteria: Breton, quality, upscale at affordable prices. And for those who have no interest for shopping, you have a relaxation area is at your disposal.

Frédéric Poulot's shop is a kind of labyrinth, where every corner has a treasure bearing treasure. Outdated lace, ropes and baskets, tiles, antique trains, discs and paintings… On China, emotion with hearts of heart, both the place is tied, full of objects witness to so many past lives, and depositary tools within their memory of the just gesture. What a few memories of history and authenticity. Absolutely charming.
