Enfants Riches Deprimes No Use in Crying Jacket

Enfants Riches Deprimes No Use in Crying Jacket

The Enfants Riches Déprimés No Use in Crying Jacket writes the instruction on the outside of the body so the person inside does not have to keep repeating it to themselves — a garment that has already processed the grief and decided, on your behalf, that tears are a waste of infrastructure.

The body is cut from a soft cotton in pale, washed-out pink — the colour of something that was once red and surrendered, or a nursery wall in a house that went quiet. Across the upper right chest, hand-scrawled black text reads THERE’S NO USE IN CRYING in a loose, slanted script that looks like it was written with a ballpoint pen during a conversation that had already ended. Below it, an alphanumeric code — B.4.0.3 — sits in the same casual hand, cataloguing the statement as though grief had a filing system. On the lower left front, a delicate line drawing of a figure is sketched directly onto the fabric — minimal, exposed, rendered with the economy of someone who draws faster than they feel. The brand name ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS appears in small uppercase text near the collar, positioned like a return address on an envelope nobody wants to open. Two squared chest flap pockets sit symmetrically below the collarbone, and a full-length silver-tone metal zipper splits the centre front. The overall impression is not of a jacket that was designed, but of one that was annotated — written on after it already existed, by someone who needed a surface more permanent than paper.

Constructed in a cropped, boxy oversized unisex silhouette with a pointed fold-down collar and ribbed or elasticised cuffs and hem that hold the proportions snug at the extremities. Each piece is individually hand-finished within a strictly limited micro-batch production — hand-applied text and illustration ensuring that no two jackets carry precisely the same marks. Specialist dry clean only is recommended; store on a wide padded hanger away from sunlight and moisture, and do not attempt to clean or remove any hand-applied markings — consult full garment care instructions. 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 house collides 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism, issuing hyper-exclusive isolating objects that turn private resignation into public dress code.

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

You stopped crying. You put the jacket on instead. Nobody noticed the difference.

FAQ

What material is the Enfants Riches Déprimés No Use in Crying Jacket made from?
A soft cotton in a pale, washed-out pink with a lightweight hand. The fabric provides a neutral canvas for the hand-applied text and illustrative elements that define this piece, and will continue to soften with wear while maintaining its cropped structure.

What do the markings on this jacket say?
The upper right chest reads THERE’S NO USE IN CRYING in hand-scrawled black script, followed by the code B.4.0.3 beneath it. A minimal line drawing of a figure occupies the lower left front, and the full brand name appears in small text near the collar. All elements are applied by hand, giving each jacket slightly unique placement and character.

What does “B.4.0.3” refer to?
The alphanumeric code functions as an indexing notation — a cataloguing marker that treats the emotional statement above it as a filed entry rather than a confession. Whether it references a batch number, a page citation, or something entirely internal to ERD’s creative process is deliberately left unresolved.

How should I care for this jacket?
Specialist dry clean only. Store on a wide padded hanger in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or steam. Take particular care not to disturb the hand-applied text and drawn elements on the surface.

Is the No Use in Crying Jacket a limited release?
Yes. Each jacket is hand-annotated within a strictly limited micro-batch run, meaning placement and character of the scrawled text and illustrations vary from piece to piece. Once the run sells through, the design is permanently retired.
