Why this brand matters

Choose Thief & Bandit when you want graphic, hand-printed jersey trousers and tops made to order, filling the gap between studio-made prints and ready-to-wear trousers. Unlike A.P.C. or Port de Bras, it emphasizes artisanal screen printing on bamboo/organic jersey and size-inclusive cuts rather than Parisian raw denim or ballet‑inspired activewear.

  • High-rise wide-leg trousers with structured 3" waistband
  • Hand-printed bamboo/organic jersey tops and turtlenecks
  • Size-inclusive made-to-order bottoms and custom sizing

Design ethos

Silhouettes favor defined, high-rise waists and broad wide-leg or barrel shapes that read both relaxed and polished. Fabrics are primarily hand-printed organic and bamboo-cotton jerseys, cut and sewn in-house with a zero-waste, made-to-order workflow. Influences come from studio screen-printing and craft-based slow-fashion practices.
