Creating a t-shirt isn't just about choosing a color and adding a phrase. At Les Coollections , everyone adds their own touch, each piece goes through a well-oiled process, where quality and relevance are at the heart of our decisions. We prioritize French—it's the basis. But our Coollections express themselves in all the languages ​​that resonate in Quebec: Franglais, Creole, Montreal slang, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese… Because here, every accent has its place, every word has a vibe , every culture deserves to be celebrated. But how do you go from a simple idea to a shirt you can proudly wear?

Here's a look at a Coollection's journey from concept to print .

Where it all begins

It all starts with an idea. Sometimes it's an expression that makes us laugh, sometimes it's a cultural movement, a current trend, or simply a need to represent something that is important to us .

💡 Where does inspiration come from?

  • Words that come to mind
  • Typical expressions and words from Quebec and elsewhere
  • Graphic and fashion trends from here and elsewhere
  • Social issues and values ​​that inspire us
  • Requests and suggestions from our community
  • Collaborations with artists and creators

Two ways to start a Collection

  1. Create our own designs : Our designers imagine visuals based on the concept, exploring several styles, fonts and compositions.
  2. Selecting designs that resonate : We rely on collaboration with independent creators to find the best visuals that align with our vision and we adapt them in French. Once the first concepts are established, we test them, we adjust them, we adapt them to the formats and colors that we carefully select.

Everything is designed to ensure that the final result lives up to the initial idea.

Turning the idea into reality

This is where the magic happens: our designs come to life on textiles . At Les Coollections , we work with high-quality printing methods to ensure vibrant colors, long-lasting wear, and maximum comfort .
