Enfants Riches Deprimes Here Comes Alice Aged V-Neck Sweater

Enfants Riches Deprimes Here Comes Alice Aged V-Neck Sweater

The Enfants Riches Déprimés Here Comes Alice Aged V-Neck Sweater arrives looking like it was pulled from the bottom of a wardrobe in a house no one has entered since 1974 — a country-club knit that went down the rabbit hole and came back yellowed, stained, and unwilling to explain what happened.

The body is worked in a fine horizontal stripe of cream and navy, the gauge tight and even, producing a delicate pinstripe effect that belongs to a certain category of post-collegiate leisure knitwear — tennis afternoons, veranda cocktails, inherited property. The V-neckline is trimmed in a soft peach ribbed band that continues across the collar, matching the short sleeves, which are cut in the same pale peach in a lighter, slightly sheer knit gauge that contrasts the denser striped body. A wide band of warm golden-peach ribbing finishes the hem, grounding the piece in a tonal palette that reads as sun-bleached and age-drained rather than deliberately chosen. Across the front, visible staining and discolouration are hand-applied — tea-toned marks and faded amber patches that interrupt the stripe pattern with the forensic evidence of decades left untouched in a drawer. This is not damage. This is biography.

Constructed in an oversized unisex silhouette with a relaxed, boxy drape and short sleeves. The knit construction carries a vintage hand — soft, slightly open, breathable — with enough structural integrity to hold its shape without clinging. Each piece is individually hand-finished and hand-aged within a strictly limited micro-batch production cycle, meaning no two sweaters carry identical staining patterns. Hand wash cold with extreme care using mild detergent; lay flat to dry in shade and never wring, tumble dry, or expose to direct heat — full garment care instructions are essential. Available in sizes S, M, L, XL.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy. The label fuses 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism, issuing hyper-exclusive isolating objects that treat decay as a design language and nostalgia as something you can smell on fabric.

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

Here comes Alice. She never left. She just aged in place and called it living.

FAQ

What material is the Enfants Riches Déprimés Here Comes Alice Sweater made from?
A fine-gauge knit with a vintage hand — soft, breathable, and slightly open in construction. The striped body and contrasting peach sleeves and trim are knitted at different gauges, creating textural variation between sections.

What are the stains and discolouration on the sweater?
All staining, yellowing, and amber-toned discolouration is intentionally hand-applied during production as part of ERD’s ageing process. The marks are designed to replicate decades of natural wear and storage patina. They are not defects and should not be cleaned or treated.

What does “Here Comes Alice” reference?
The title evokes the Lewis Carroll archetype — innocence entering a space that distorts everything it touches. ERD transposes the reference onto a garment that embodies that same passage of time: something that began pristine and emerged irreversibly altered.

How should I care for this sweater?
Hand wash cold with great care using mild detergent. Lay flat on a towel to dry in shade. Never wring, twist, tumble dry, or hang. The knit construction and applied ageing require gentle handling to maintain their intended character.

Is the Here Comes Alice Sweater a limited release?
Yes. Each piece is hand-aged within a strictly limited micro-batch, producing unique staining patterns from unit to unit. Once the run sells through, the design is permanently retired — no restocks, no reissues.
