Sandro
Sandro in short
Sandro is a Parisian fashion brand founded in 1984, offering womenswear and, since 2008, menswear. Its aesthetic is minimalist and sharply tailored, centred on blazers, wool coats, and knitwear. The label uses French sizing and cuts slim, so size up if in doubt.

Sandro is distinctly more urban and minimalist than Maje: fewer prints, with greater emphasis on structure and tailoring.
Key pieces to look for
- Blazers — sharply tailored, versatile enough to pair with denim.
- Coats — wool overcoats and leather jackets in timeless core colours.
- Knitwear — wool blends cut in a sleek, streamlined fit.
- Menswear — shirts, jumpers, and coats reflecting the same refined aesthetic.
Sizing and care
Sandro uses French numerical sizing; 1 roughly corresponds to an S and 2 to an M. The cut is slim, so those who prefer a more relaxed fit should choose a size up.
- Wool coats: brush after wearing and have professionally dry cleaned once a year.
- Knitwear: dry flat to avoid stretching.
- Leather: treat with a leather cream and store out of direct sunlight.
Buying in the Netherlands
Sandro is available across the Netherlands via standalone boutiques in major cities, department stores, and online. Given the slim cut, trying on in-store or checking garment measurements carefully is advisable.
