Why is this t-shirt more expensive than average?
Why is this t-shirt more expensive than average?
Because we pay everyone fairly. Because we pay a fair price for sustainable, local materials. But above all: because it's the average that's not expensive enough to guarantee all that.
Plus, if you do the math, this t-shirt is even cheaper than average in the end:
- €10 Fast-Fashion T-shirt worn 10 times (thrown away because it didn't last in the wash): €10/10 = €1 per use
- Lucid T-shirt at €60 worn every 3 weeks for 5 years: €60/85 = €0.70 per use
We're not math geniuses, but we're convinced that the bill is less steep here.

How do I care for my FRIEND?
How do I care for my FRIEND?
- Prefer washing at 30° by turning the t-shirt inside out
- Drying in the open air extends its lifespan, reduces your electricity bill and preserves our beautiful planet
- Nathan is 1m86 tall and wears size L, Valentine is 1m69 tall and wears size M

- As with all natural and cellulosic fibers, slight shrinkage (3-5%) is possible during the first few washes
TO SET THE NORM, START BY PUTTING ON THE RIGHT T-SHIRT
Simply stylish
A solid, straight-cut t-shirt with a striking print on the back and a retro "Lucid" across the chest. Add a touch of fun to your outfits while staying stylish.
Be careful, you might get asked "Where did you buy your t-shirt?" everywhere you go.
You've been warned.
This is not a print
Well, yes, it is a print. But we wanted an original way to tell you it was created by a Belgian (a nod to Magritte, blah blah blah).
We could have asked an AI to make the visual for us, but we found the exchanges were nicer with Victor, the Brussels native behind this beauty.
We tattooed your t-shirt
We use water-based ink printing , which is gentle on the skin, without chemical solvents, with non-toxic and less polluting inks. Unlike traditional inks, ours penetrates the textile thread, making it more resistant to washing and creasing .
As usual, we've paid attention to the smallest details to make our clothes last longer and do less damage to the planet.
It will outlive you
For a t-shirt to be durable, it must last over time. Even though we'd be thrilled if you came back to buy another from us, we want to avoid this being due to a lack of durability of our recycled material. That's why our t-shirt has a thickness of 230 g/m² compared to 150 g/m² for a normal t-shirt. You're not about to get rid of it.
The sleeve that beats the others hands down
In our quest for sustainability, we also looked at how to make our clothes stand the test of time. We tested different types of seams, finishes, patterns, etc., all to ensure that in addition to being less disruptive to the planet, our t-shirts would be able to go everywhere you go. Here we have a solid sleeve with a neat finish that won't give out after 3 washes (and probably not after 300 either).
Snug at the neck
Wavy collars are a bad look on a t-shirt. While prototyping our t-shirts, we tested different types of collars and seams to end up with a collar that sits close to the neck, is durable and has a timeless style. You can pull it over your head again and again without risking the seams giving way.
