Instinctively, we decided the best was to go back to our roots. "AMOR E PAZ" "PEACE AND LOVE" "AMOUR ET PAIX", it sounds like a motto, but it is way more than that... PEACE but especially LOVE here, we can feel it from our toes to our heads stopping by our hearts obviously.
Having in head a clear vision of our project, of who we are as persons but also as a group and as an artistic sutio, we decided we should drop a collection of clothes and goodies that talk about love, in its purest and most honest way : rawly, without any precaution or restraint.
It was time for LOVEMBER to come to reality. T-shirts, crewnecks, hoodies, beanies, bucket hats, corduroy hats, baseball hats, goodies, all embellished with kitsch prints or embroideries and available for a month only... isn't that love at first sight ?

]]>AMOR E PAZ CLUB is an artistic studio based in La Ciotat, France.
(La Ciotat Harbor)
La Ciotat is a small beach town near Marseille. The lifestyle here is quiet simple and pleasent : do water sports during the day, then go grab beers (or pastis) with your friends at your local bar on the harbor. If you feel brave enough, you can stop at every bar along your road. Do the same thing the next day or choose to refuel energy by sleeping your feet stuck in the sand.
AMOR E PAZ CLUB draws its inspiration mainly from this City and the lifestyle that comes with it. The result is often raw and groovy designs printed on clothing or goodies. More than just clothing and goodies, this is a way of living life that we showcase. A life full of pleasures and memories. So we see ourselves, not as a brand, but as a studio that happen to also sells merch. The goal is to create, organise or document anything that can fit our DNA : Music, Party, Painting, Photography, Film, Surf, Clothing... So do not be surprised if we throw a surf contest, document it, have an after party with a dj set where we sell merch and teach painting classes !

In a nutshell, AMOR E PAZ CLUB is a groovy, raw, punk, free, rock n roll, open-minded, fun, friendly, welcoming artistic studio run by surfers (kooks and experts).
