The artist / the association

An artwork selected by Damien Kempf will be printed on the back of the t-shirts and will be followed by the quote “day 10 of quarantine”. This image is a representation of biblical female figure Vael, who killed the king of Canaan in her tent et thus freed the tribes of Israel from oppression. It is an offbeat commentary on the lockdown and the tensions that it inevitably creates within the household. But Vael’s heroic gesture also symbolizes the defeat of the oppressor, thereby echoing the recent feminist movements in the wake of me-too.
Lire et faire lire is a charitable program that aims at sharing the love of literature and reading across generations.
The idea is simple: have volunteers aged at least 50 come to schools and read stories aloud to small groups of children. These volunteers, many of whom retired, contribute to the education of students by sharing the passion for reading, encouraging little ones in expressing themselves in French, and enabling their personal and social development. In 1999, French writer Alexandre Jardin had the idea for an association that would bring together little ones and volunteers through the passion of reading.

Working with the best partner

Texmin is a factory based in Portugal near Porto. It’s been more than 30 years they are partnering with top brands including levis, a-cold-wall or Maison Kitsuné. Texmin was the first factory we met when we were visiting Portugal for the first time and the only that trusted in our project. We are everyday in contact with Raquel, whose in charge of us for more than two years, and Francisco, the owner of Texmin. With Francisco, we share the want of keeping things small and qualitative, being obsessed by details. That’s why he keeps his number of employees below twenty, that he keeps investing in new machinery or new facilities as to offer top level working conditions to his employees. Being the best always has been the goal of Francisco and Texmin, and we are thankful to have them on our side.
