The line
The Gumi T-shirt was created in collaboration with artist Thomas Merceron, whose practice spans soft pastel, India ink and digital drawing. Together, we explored mirage and memory through a narrative print inspired by his comics. Printed in Paris on 100% organic cotton jersey, it has a loose crew-neck fit. Made in Portugal.
