Where do the designs on our embroidered T-shirts come from?
At Maison Plumarius, each embroidered T-shirt is more than a piece of clothing: it's a work of textiles. But where do the designs you proudly wear on your chest come from? Here's a behind-the-scenes look at our artistic and responsible approach.
✏️ We collaborate with emerging talents
Rather than working with established artists, we made a bold choice: to give a chance to talents still unknown to the general public .
Why? Because we sincerely believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and recognized for their creativity. Because design shouldn't be reserved for an elite few. And because supporting young talent also means actively participating in the cultural and artistic diversity of tomorrow.
✨ We prefer to unearth a future big name, rather than paying an exorbitant license fee for an already famous artist.
🎯 A choice consistent with our values (and with your budget)
Working with young talent also allows us to remain faithful to one of our fundamental principles: offering a top quality embroidered T-shirt at a fair price .
Indeed, collaborations with well-known artists often involve high usage fees , or even ongoing commissions on each sale. This inevitably has an impact on the final price.
By opting for a more humble and supportive model, we reduce costs , while investing in the creators of today — and tomorrow.
🇫🇷 A preference for local artists
Whenever possible, we choose artists based in France , to promote the local economy, strengthen human exchanges, and share common cultural references. Working side by side, in a constant dialogue, makes each creation more alive, more coherent, more human.
🌿 A source of inspiration: nature
Our embroidered T-shirts pay homage to what we find most beautiful on Earth: nature, animals, organic forms, the colors of life.
Birds, insects, fruits, flowers, and landscapes are all symbols we love to embody through embroidery. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they also convey a profound message about our connection to the planet and its biodiversity.
🤝 An ethical model: no exclusivity
Unlike many brands, we don't ask for exclusivity on works created with artists. Why? Because our mission is above all to support, promote, and nurture the talents we work with.
The artist can reuse his drawings, sell them elsewhere , or exhibit them freely .
We believe in collaboration based on trust and reciprocity, not ownership and control.
✨ In summary
- The designs on our embroidered T-shirts are created by emerging artists , often local, passionate, and talented.
- This choice allows us to offer you an original design, at no extra cost , while respecting our human values.
- Our main inspiration is nature , animals and the beauty of life.
- We work transparently and without exclusivity , to truly support the French artistic scene.
