Hélas

Hélas was founded in Paris in 2011 by pro skater Lucas Puig with Clément Brunel and Stephen Khou. The name came from an Oxmo Puccino song that happened to be playing while they were brainstorming. It began as a small run of caps and grew into one of the most respected labels in European skateboarding — clean, refined, distinctly French, and just as comfortable at a café table as mid-session.

What's on the floor

• The French-cut caps that made the brand, and the beanies alongside them
• Tracksuits — the piece people come in specifically asking for
• Technical ready-to-wear from the seasonal range
• Tees and knitwear, umbrella logo and all

Caps and tracksuits sell through quickly and colourways don't usually repeat. If you're after a particular one, or a size we're out of, email info@gallerystreetwear.ca and we'll confirm restock timing or hold something from the floor.
