Paul Smith Jeans – Paul
Smith Shirt & Bag Collection
Paul Smith draws his inspiration from a multitude of sources,
and most recently from the film director Wes Anderson’s film ‘The Darjeeling
Limited’. It’s a story of three brothers’ journey of self discovery through
India. The latest Paul Smith shirt collection contrasts the brothers’ native
Manhattan look of refined elegance, with the colourful printed palettes they
come to experience in India. The new range suggests combining a Paul Smith
shirt with a sweater or a Paul Smith bag to create a complete look.

Referencing features found in the film, Paul Smith Jeans collections
features sharp grey marl single breasted jackets, and classic trenches alongside
Indian inspired Hawaiian and Paisley shirts. Cheery pastel striped chinos

introduced into the collection, detailed with soft paisley piping.

from the Big Screen - Paul Smith Bag

the latest collection. Pinks, oranges and yellow floral patterns, reflect the
Indian inspiration, whilst blues, soft greens and indigo create a darker summer
palette. Subtle colours and shades integrated into the full collection add an
extra special softness to the Paul Smith shirt range too. The Paul Smith Jeans
