In the midst of 2023, a realization struck that I needed to rekindle my passion for graphic design within the realm of clothing. Motivated by a desire to encapsulate the essence of traveling through Italy, immersed in its flavors and vibrant moments, I embarked on a creative journey. The name 'Coupe' emerged organically, drawn from the primary drink of choice during my Italian sojourn.
The inspiration for Coupe drew from vintage sketches and illustrations depicting cocktail waiters and animals assuming waiter roles. Within this creative process, I sensed a subtle essence of my prior project, T-Sutra, which had traversed and seamlessly melded into what I now identify as Coupe.
