The ERD Deaf Child Tee turns a classroom scene into something unresolved and slightly haunted. White cotton, cut in ERD’s boxy oversized fit, “ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS” runs in stacked serif type across the top, sitting above a rough, hand-drawn illustration in black ink — a figure standing mid-gesture, hand raised near the face, positioned beside a small group of seated children rendered in the same loose, sketchbook linework.
Below the figures, the ink bleeds into a dark, pooled smudge, spreading down the lower half of the composition like the drawing itself is dissolving under its own weight. A small illustrated shoe sits detached nearby, an odd, quiet detail that reads more like a clue than decoration. Nothing in the scene resolves into a clear narrative — it stays suspended somewhere between a classroom memory and a page torn out mid-story, ink-stained enough that you’re not entirely sure how much of what happened was intentional.
Made from 500gsm cotton in ERD’s oversized unisex fit, the shirt is produced in a strictly limited micro-batch, individually hand-finished so the hand-drawn illustration and ink-bleed effect print with slight variation piece to piece. It comes in S, M, L, and XL. That much fine linework and bled ink doesn’t survive a careless wash, so check garment care before this one meets water or heat.
Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy, colliding 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism. The label frequently returns to childhood scenes rendered with an unfinished, almost accidental hand, letting ambiguity do more work than a clear illustration ever could — hyper-exclusive objects built around what’s left unsaid.
Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan.
Nobody explained what happened. The ink didn’t either.
