Red Coles is a line of limited edition goods for men, women, kids and the home. The company started as a collection of hand printed t-shirts selling in specialty boutiques around the world including Fred Segal in Los Angeles, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, Beams in Tokyo and The Studio Museum in Harlem.
The product line now consists of the signature shirts as well as postcards and silkscreen art prints. The collection is a mix of pop culture and music inspired line drawings, illustrations and graphic designs. From artist renderings of music icons, reinterpretations of traditional textile patterns, sometimes-satirical social commentary and street snapshots, the goods are both refreshing and clever.
Artist, Eric Coles, creates the products in his Brooklyn, New York studio. Coles, a former music executive (who signed Maxwell among others) launched his first men's collection in 2003 because he didn't see what he wanted to wear when he went into stores. He later saw his t-shirts designs on the backs of boldface names like Seal, Jennifer Connelly, Steve Nash and Kanye West.
