Requin Câlin - T-shirt
Dive into "La Bande des Requins" — a limited edition collection, available only once as a pre-order.
Requin Câlin is the big softie of the deep — biting really isn't his thing.
Heavyweight oversized tee with a relaxed boxy fit and dropped shoulders. Made from 100% combed ring-spun cotton in a heavy 200 GSM jersey for a thick, structured drape that lasts. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabric, with a premium screen-printed front and a detailed DTG-printed back.
Shipping available in France and New Caledonia.
Story
Somewhere off the reef, a crew was born.
Seven sharks, seven personalities, one tight-knit gang. There's the brains, the softie, the eternal optimist, the big head, the free spirit, the night owl and the gentle giant who'd rather hug than bite. Together they rule the lagoon, not with fear, but with style.
Every character, every creature, every leaf is hand-illustrated by Inès Colin, an artist and illustrator from New Caledonia. The entire visual world of La Bande des Requins flows from her hand, giving the collection its warm, offbeat, unmistakably island soul.
Quality
Every piece in La Bande des Requins is built on the same promise: premium garments made to last. We start with heavyweight, high-quality cotton bases chosen for their structured drape, their soft hand and their durability wash after wash.
Tees and crop tops are cut from heavy combed cotton, hoodies from a thick brushed fleece, and every print is applied with care to stay sharp over time. No fast-fashion shortcuts, no thin fabrics that fade after a season.
That's the DNA of the band: pieces you'll actually keep clothes that age with you instead of falling apart. Made to be worn, again and again.
Pre-order & shipping
La Bande des Requins is a limited pre-order collection. Pre-orders are open until June 30th. We only produce what's ordered during this window — no surplus, no restock.
Once pre-orders close on June 30th, the whole collection goes into production at once. Your order is then made, shipped and delivered within approximately 3 to 4 weeks — so you can expect it from mid-July onwards, whether you're in France or New Caledonia.
A little patience for something made just for you, in a run that won't come back.
About La Bande des Requins
La Bande des Requins is a brand created by Studioxoux. Its purpose is simple: to create lasting memories through bold visuals, all hand-illustrated by Inès Colin.
The brand's visual world draws its inspiration from the Pacific, turquoise waters, endless sunsets and the easy warmth of island life.
Our ambition is to release recurring small-scale collections, always as limited pre-orders, each one introducing a brand-new cast of sharks to the crew.
