Remember when we asked for your help designing a new merch collection? Well, we got it. You voted on fonts, weighed in on colors, and confirmed we’re not the only people with an unreasonable number of opinions. Honestly, it’s nice to feel understood.
And what a process it was. Some ideas made it further than others; a few looked better in theory, and we changed our minds more times than we’d care to admit. We’re usually showing you the beautiful after, but this time, you got to be part of the before. And as anyone who’s ever tackled an organizing project knows, there’s a whole lot of sorting, editing, and second-guessing that happens between the two.
So we decided to call the collection Le Chaos. It’s French for “chaos,” which sounds a lot better than calling it a mess. And despite what our perfectly labeled pantries might suggest, we’re no strangers to either. We can organize a closet down to the last hanger and still spend ten minutes looking for our keys. We’re doing our best.
But when it came to the collection itself, we weren’t willing to compromise. We wanted beautiful embroidery, colors that work with the rest of your wardrobe, and pieces you can throw on when you have approximately two minutes to get out the door but still want to look good.
And now for the fun part: Everything you helped us create is officially yours to shop!
The Le Chaos Crewneck
We considered rugby shirts, debated quarter-zips, and eventually landed on the classic crewneck. Then came the color debate. Burgundy, navy, white...we went through quite a few contenders before finding our perfect green.
And we mean perfect. Rich and polished, but not so dark that it looks navy in photos. A very specific distinction that became very important to us. Add beautiful embroidery, and there you have it: A sweatshirt you can dress up, dress down, and wear approximately four times a week.
The Le Chaos Hat
For bad hair days, good hair days, and the days when you simply can’t be bothered to find out which one you’re having. This embroidered green cap is officially in the rotation.
The Le Chaos Tote
A good tote is basically an extra set of hands, and we could all use a pair. This one has room for your laptop, water bottle, snacks, and the miscellaneous things that somehow become your responsibility to carry.
Will we still add our favorite purse pouches inside to keep everything organized? Obviously. Just because the tote says Le Chaos doesn’t mean the system itself has to live up to the name!
Three pieces, more opinions than we can count, and a collection that wouldn’t have turned out the same without you. Thank you for helping us bring Le Chaos to life. We hope you love it as much as we do!
