The Enfants Riches Déprimés Tote Bag in washed black is the everyday object made bleak. Cut from heavy washed-black canvas with a faded, lived-in finish, it carries the shape of a plain shopper and loads it with something colder — a bag for hauling your life around while pretending you don’t have one.

The front carries the “Enfants Riches Déprimés” wordmark stamped clean above a screen-printed black-and-white image: two ghosted figures, gridded and grainy, staring out like a photograph nobody wanted developed. The back keeps a smaller print and fine text near the base. Twin top handles, a wide open body, and canvas soft enough to slump when you set it down.

Constructed from heavyweight cotton canvas and individually finished, produced in strictly limited micro-batches. Because the wash and print are delicate, follow the recommended garment care to keep the graphic from fading before you’re done with it. Built to age into you rather than out of season.

Founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy, Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — collides 1970s French avant-garde tailoring with raw punk nihilism, turning private wreckage into hyper-exclusive isolating objects. A refusal of disposable fashion: slow, deliberate, built to outlast the trend cycle and probably you.

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

Carry it everywhere. It won’t make the day lighter.
