Enfants Riches Deprimes

Hand-finished punk luxury from the house of Henri Alexander Levy.

ERD, short for Enfants Riches Deprimes, started in Los Angeles in 2012, when artist Henri Alexander Levy began making clothes the way he made art: by hand, in small batches, without much interest in whether it sold. A decade later it's still run that way. Hoodies get painted. T-shirts get torn up on purpose. Jackets get worked on piece by piece instead of pulled off a production line. People search for this brand under a few different spellings, ERD, e.r.d. clothing, enfants riches déprimés, and it's all the same line.

ERD Hoodie Collection

Start with the hoodie, since that's usually how people find ERD Hoodie in the first place. Heavyweight fleece, then distressed or hand-painted or appliquéd on top of that, which means two hoodies off the same rack rarely look quite the same. There are clean logo zip-ups if you want something simpler, and rougher, raw-edge pullovers if you don't. Either way, someone touched the thing by hand before it shipped.

ERD Shirts & T-Shirts

This is where the hand-drawn graphics actually show up best. A logo tee looks different on ERD than it does anywhere else: dyed unevenly, patched, sometimes deliberately roughed up at the seams. Ribbed long-sleeves, printed tees, the occasional ERD T Shirt that looks like it survived something. None of it reads as a basic, even when the silhouette is plain.

ERD Jackets & Outerwear

ERD Jackets take the longest to make and it shows. Leather pieces are painted and built up in Henri's studio one at a time, not run off in batches, so the finish on one jacket won't match the next. Denim and twill jackets get a similar treatment: layered, distressed, occasionally patched. None of it is restocked the way a normal jacket would be.

ERD Belts & Accessories

ERD Belts are the easiest way into the brand if you're not ready to commit to a jacket yet. Studded straps, braided leather, heavy hardware. Small pieces that still carry the same rough-edged finish as everything else. A lot of first-time buyers start here.

ERD Jeans & Denim

Some of the patches aren't fixing anything. They're just there. ERD Pants denim comes pre-faded and pre-broken-in, so a pair you just bought can already look like it's five years old.

About the Designer

Henri Alexander Levy started ERD as much as an art project as a clothing line. In interviews he'll bring up painters like Cy Twombly and Jean Dubuffet about as fast as he'll bring up punk or Japanese avant-garde design. You can tell. The clothes look less like a typical collection and more like something he made for himself first and decided to sell second. Probably why people search his name almost as much as the brand name.

ERD Size Guide

Enfants Riches Déprimés pieces are cut for an oversized, relaxed fit, so they tend to run larger than standard sizing. If you prefer a closer, more fitted look, consider sizing down. For the best fit, check the size guide and compare the measurements below against a garment you already own and love, laid flat. Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly by style. If you're between sizes, reach out and we'll help you choose.
