Saint James, a well-known French clothing brand famous for its striped shirts and sweaters, has hit pause on shipping its products to U.S. retailers. The reason? President Trump’s tariffs have made it too costly to send their inventory overseas, so the goods are just sitting in their French warehouse for now.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one company—it’s a snapshot of how trade wars ripple through industries. When tariffs make it harder for brands like Saint James to sell abroad, U.S. retailers (and shoppers) could face higher prices or fewer options. It’s a reminder that policies meant to protect domestic industries can sometimes backfire on businesses and consumers alike.
