Enfants Riches Deprimes Striped Silk Shirt

Enfants Riches Deprimes Striped Silk Shirt

The Enfants Riches Déprimés Striped Silk Shirt repeats itself until the words lose all meaning — a garment that functions like a mantra whispered too many times, dissolving into pattern before it can be understood.

What reads at a distance as a classic pinstripe reveals itself on approach as something else entirely: rows of small repeated script text running horizontally across a cream silk ground, each line forming a continuous typographic stripe in black ink. The words blur into rhythm, stacking from collar to hem in tight, even intervals until language becomes decoration and decoration becomes obsession. A flat camp collar opens in a relaxed revere notch, and the short sleeves hang with the liquid ease that only silk permits. The placket carries a concealed button closure, preserving the unbroken surface of the print. A dark woven brand label sits at the inner collar — the only element that speaks plainly.

Cut in an oversized unisex silhouette from pure silk with a featherweight drape and natural lustre, this is not a shirt that apologises for being fragile. Each piece is individually hand-finished as part of a strictly limited micro-batch production run. Due to the delicate silk construction, professional dry clean is recommended; store on a wide padded hanger away from direct sunlight — full garment care guidance is essential reading. Available in sizes S, M, L, XL.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — the name translates from French as “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy. The label collides 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism, producing hyper-exclusive isolating objects that exist somewhere between couture and manifesto.

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

Say it enough times and even despair starts to sound like decoration.

FAQ

What material is the Enfants Riches Déprimés Striped Silk Shirt made from?
Pure 100 % silk with a lightweight drape and natural sheen — a significantly more refined and delicate fabric than the label’s heavyweight cotton pieces.

What creates the striped pattern on this shirt?
The stripes are not woven — they are formed by rows of small repeated script text printed horizontally across the silk in black ink. From a distance the effect mimics pinstripes; up close, the typographic detail becomes legible.

How should I care for this silk shirt?
Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended. Store on a wide padded hanger in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight. Never machine wash, tumble dry, or steam directly.

Where is this shirt manufactured?
Production spans Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan, with every piece individually hand-finished.

Is the Enfants Riches Déprimés Striped Silk Shirt a limited release?
Yes. All ERD garments are produced in strictly limited micro-batches. Once sold through, restocks are exceptionally rare and never guaranteed.
