"Exploring the creativity through the intersections of fashion & art"
What is LE CARTEL?
LE CARTEL is a Montreal-based brand organized in the manner of an artistic collective, like a music label for example, except that we express ourselves on textiles.
Our mission is to promote the artists we collaborate with by using clothing as an artistic medium in its own right. As our motto underlines, we mix "Art & Fashion" that we unveil every month through limited editions.
For the record, the word "cartel" comes from the Latin cartello, which referred to the first papyrus posters. Since Antiquity, the word has kept this close link with the art world in the broadest sense, since it nowadays names the small explanatory card that can be found under each work in a museum, and in the collar of each of our creations.
LE CARTEL, who is it?
Since the creation of the brand in 2015, we count more than 50 collaborations with artists with more incredible styles and stories than the others.
It would be hard to choose here, but if you're interested in learning more, we suggest you take a look at the Artists section of our website. You'll find a complete list of our collaborations to date, as well as a portrait of each of our most memorable encounters.
As a teaser, we can tell you that we've collaborated with the cream of the street art scene in cities like Vancouver, Paris, Berlin, Melbourne, NYC, Brussels ... and of course, the coolest city on earth : Montreal.

"One more thing"
LE CARTEL has always been a local company, which is why more than 50% of all our collections are entirely produced in Canada. Most of our suppliers are based in Montreal, Canada's textile capital and 3rd largest city in North America in terms of production (behind New York and Los Angeles).
We pay a 10% royalty on each sale to the artists we work with, which represents more than $300,000 to date.
If you're in Montreal, come and meet us at the boutique, there's no better way to get to know the team & discover all our latest exclusivities.
