Few places capture the feeling of summer quite like the South of France. There’s an ease to the way people dress, chic, yet relaxed. Comfortable, but always put-together. This latest style edit, Mediterranean Getaway, brings that spirit to life through six effortlessly elegant looks featuring Je Suis Yours Truly, a brand that blends French charm with minimalist design for pieces that feel timeless, wearable, and refined!
Behind the Brand
Founded by Hungarian designer and photographer Agnes, Je Suis Yours Truly is a personal love letter to France, especially the Riviera. After more than a decade running her accessory label Zoe & Co., Agnes felt a pull to create something new: a collection of clothing that blends her design background with her deep affection for French culture, language, and lifestyle!
The result is a range of comfortable, elevated basics: tees, sweatshirts, totes, and prints that channel the easy spirit of the South of France. Each design is simple, subtle, and meaningful: phrases in navy script, nods to croissants and café culture, and wearable souvenirs from her time in places like Antibes, where she visits regularly and plans to move to very soon!
