CLASSIC
Retro script. Warm tones. Timeless character.
CLASSIC is built on a rich Burgundy cotton base and features a two-colour script design positioned centrally across the front of the garment.
The CLASSIC wordmark combines warm Frappe lettering with a contrasting Tawny Brown outline. The layered colour construction adds definition to the flowing typography while maintaining a clean and balanced appearance.
A small ArtiFacture logo in Frappe is positioned at the upper back neck, adding a subtle branded finishing detail without distracting from the simplicity of the main design.

Design
The design of CLASSIC follows a retro, clean and typography-driven aesthetic, centred around a single flowing CLASSIC wordmark.
The front graphic uses rounded script lettering with smooth curves and a relaxed vintage influence. Instead of relying on oversized block typography, complex illustrations or multiple graphic elements, the design focuses entirely on the shape of the lettering, colour balance and precise placement.
Frappe forms the main body of the CLASSIC lettering, while Tawny Brown creates a defined outer outline around the complete wordmark.
The combination gives the graphic additional depth while preserving its clean and understated character.
The warm Frappe and Tawny Brown tones work naturally against the Burgundy fabric, creating a softer and more refined contrast than traditional black or white graphics.
A small Frappe ArtiFacture logo positioned at the upper back neck completes the design with a subtle branded detail.

Classic by design
CLASSIC is built around simplicity.
The word CLASSIC becomes the complete visual statement on the front of the garment.
Its flowing script typography references vintage branding, traditional sign lettering and relaxed lifestyle graphics while remaining clean enough to work within a contemporary wardrobe.
The curved letterforms create natural movement across the chest, while the two-colour construction gives the design additional definition without making the artwork unnecessarily complex.
Frappe introduces a soft neutral centre to the lettering.
Tawny Brown follows the complete outside shape of the wordmark, creating a warm surrounding border that separates the lighter lettering from the Burgundy fabric.
From a distance, the design remains simple and immediately recognisable. At closer range, the layered colour construction and contrasting outline reveal additional detail.
The small ArtiFacture logo on the upper back introduces a second, much more subtle visual element and completes the garment without competing with the main front design.
The artwork of CLASSIC is produced using specialist garment vinyl.
The front design uses two carefully combined colours.
Frappe forms the main CLASSIC lettering.
Tawny Brown creates the surrounding outline, giving the script additional definition and producing its layered appearance.
The two vinyl elements are individually cut, positioned and applied to create a precise two-colour graphic with clearly defined edges.
The small ArtiFacture logo at the upper back neck is produced separately using Frappe vinyl, visually connecting the back detail with the main colour of the front artwork.
Against the Burgundy cotton fabric, the combination remains warm and balanced rather than relying on an extreme high-contrast finish.

Layered colour construction
The CLASSIC front graphic uses a layered vinyl structure rather than a single flat colour.
The Tawny Brown element forms the larger underlying shape of the design.
The Frappe lettering is then positioned above it, allowing the Tawny Brown layer to remain visible as a continuous outline around the script.
This construction follows the natural curves of the lettering and gives the graphic additional depth while retaining a smooth and controlled appearance.
The relationship between the two colours is deliberately subtle.
Frappe remains the dominant visual element, while Tawny Brown provides enough contrast to define the shape of every letter without overpowering the design.
Different lighting conditions may slightly change the perceived warmth of both colours, particularly between natural daylight and warmer artificial lighting.
Why this design stands out
Many graphic T-shirts rely on oversized artwork, complex illustrations or very strong colour contrast.
CLASSIC takes a more restrained approach.
Its identity comes from a single carefully proportioned wordmark, flowing typography and a warm complementary colour palette.
The approx. 27 cm front width allows the design to remain clearly visible across the chest without covering the entire garment.
The Burgundy base creates a rich foundation, while Frappe provides a soft central contrast and Tawny Brown introduces additional definition.
The small ArtiFacture logo at the back neck provides a subtle finishing detail while keeping the main focus on the CLASSIC front graphic.
The result is a graphic T-shirt designed to feel expressive without becoming visually excessive.
Styling
CLASSIC works naturally within casual streetwear, retro-inspired outfits and contemporary everyday styling.
- Relaxed streetwear outfits
- Retro-inspired styling
- Casual lifestyle looks
- Light and washed denim
- Cream and neutral trousers
- Minimal trainers
- Layered everyday outfits
- Typography-focused wardrobes
Pair the Burgundy base with light blue denim, cream trousers, neutral cargo trousers or clean white trainers.
The warm Frappe and Tawny Brown graphic works particularly well with beige, cream, denim and other neutral colours.
For a more relaxed silhouette, the T-shirt can also be worn one size larger to create a slightly oversized streetwear fit.

The Burgundy cotton fabric creates a rich and warm foundation for the Frappe and Tawny Brown artwork.
Its colour provides enough contrast to clearly define the layered typography while maintaining the softer overall appearance of the design.
The cotton construction provides a familiar everyday feel while supporting the clean silhouette and relaxed lifestyle character of the garment.

Colour
Burgundy
The Burgundy base forms the foundation of the complete colourway.
Frappe introduces a soft warm contrast across the centre of the CLASSIC graphic, while Tawny Brown creates a darker surrounding outline that visually connects the lettering with the deeper tone of the garment.
The small Frappe logo positioned at the upper back neck continues the same colour language across the reverse of the T-shirt.
Together, Burgundy, Frappe and Tawny Brown create a warm and balanced combination with a subtle retro character.

5/5 Stars! Highly recommended!The tshirt arrived beautifully packaged and the quality is amazing It is super comfortable and honestly looks much better in person than in the pictures .As soon as I wore it my friends immediately asked me where I got it from! I highly recommend it!
Really happy with this T-shirt. The burgundy colour looks even better in person and the CLASSIC print works really well with it. The fit is comfortable and true to size, and the two-colour lettering has a nice finish and feels well made. Definitely one of those T-shirts that looks simple but stands out when you wear it.
