Enfants Riches Deprimes Embroidered Checkered Shirt

Enfants Riches Deprimes Embroidered Checkered Shirt

The Enfants Riches Déprimés Embroidered Checkered Shirt is a secret kept in plain sight — a pattern that only reveals itself when someone stands close enough to notice, and by then it is already too late.

The entire body is constructed from a semi-sheer black fabric carrying an allover tonal checkerboard pattern rendered in raised embroidery rather than print. The texture shifts between matte and subtle sheen as the fabric moves, creating an optical depth that disappears and resurfaces under changing light. Dark tonal buttons — nearly invisible against the cloth — run the full centre placket, reinforcing the shirt’s refusal to announce itself. A relaxed camp collar opens in a flat revere notch, and the short sleeves finish clean and unstructured. A discreet woven brand label rests at the lower left hem, the garment’s only concession to identification.

Cut in an oversized unisex silhouette from lightweight cotton with a refined semi-sheer hand, built for the kind of warmth that does not comfort. Each piece is individually hand-finished as part of a strictly limited micro-batch production — clothing made to exist briefly and age permanently. Hand wash cold inside out with mild detergent or spot clean; air dry flat in shade and do not iron directly over the embroidered texture — see full garment care instructions. Available in sizes S, M, L, XL.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — translating from French as “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy. The label welds 1970s French avant-garde tailoring to raw punk nihilism, engineering hyper-exclusive isolating objects that treat scarcity as doctrine and disposability as enemy.

Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan.

FAQ

What material is the Enfants Riches Déprimés Embroidered Checkered Shirt made from?
Lightweight 100 % cotton with a semi-sheer hand. The checkerboard pattern is achieved through raised tonal embroidery woven into the fabric itself, not surface printing.

How does the embroidered checkered design look in person?
The pattern is tone-on-tone black, shifting between matte and subtle sheen depending on the light and angle. It reads as almost solid from a distance and reveals its full grid up close — a tactile detail you feel as much as see.

How should I care for this shirt?
Hand wash cold inside out with mild detergent, or spot clean. Air dry flat in shade. Avoid tumble drying and do not iron directly over the embroidered areas to preserve the raised texture.

Where is this shirt manufactured?
Each shirt is produced across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan, with individual hand-finishing applied at every stage of the process.

Is this a limited-edition release?
Yes. All Enfants Riches Déprimés garments are released in strictly limited micro-batches. Restocks are uncommon and never promised once a run is complete.
