Who are we?
Former members of the KGB: "Klan de Gasconha Bordèlica !"
Why "Adishatz" ?
"E perqué pas, tè"!
We called our clothing brand "Adishatz" because it is probably the mostly used
word of the Langue d'Òc (historic Gascon tongue spoken in parts of southern France),
exept « hilh de p...!» or «diu vivant!».Literally, it
means «Adieu soyez». However, because of the phonetic
characteristics of this area of Occitanie, « Adiu Siatz» became
«Adishatz».
The pronunciation changes according to the places: in the area called
Languedoc, people are used to saying «Adiussiatz»,
«Adissias» or « Adieussiatz» like people who come from
Provence, Auvergne, Limousin or from the South of the Alps.
It is just the evolution of the same word in a common linguistic unit.
Why such a thing?
Thanks to our products, we want to spread the image of our area with a lot of
caustic humour (the same as the boastful humour of our fellow citizens!). In
fact we use all the elements that compose our area called «Grand Sud
Ouest»...even more than that: all the part located at the lower part of
the Loire (as they are used to saying at the TV news!).
That's why we try to deal with all the themes from the daily life (gastronomy,
rugby, hunting, fishing, competitions of throwing espadrilles!), to the most
particuliar moments (for example, festivals during summer, or meals of
communion...), and we deal with the very strong bond that unites us with the
environment too (sea, mountains, forests, rivers, countryside) without claim of
course or «se voletz shens copà'ns lo cap!».
What do we make?
Er...we draw, we paint, we patch, we knit...from time to time and «
tranquilament»! But it was like that at the beginning...when we were
young! Now, we are still young of course, in our minds! But we need to wear the
tie...on the T-shirt! It is a terrific look: beret, T-shirt and tie...isn't it?
So now, listen attentively!
Currently, in order to prevent that people say «ADISHATZ ®:
they only make T-shirts», we are developing 3 collections based on 3
themes:
The first one is called Colleccion País: our famous
silk-screen-printed T-shirts and their cartoons.
To remain close to this way of life, we created adishatz Classic ®:
materials and cuttings selected are adapted to this way of life (full of
sobriety, classicism, and elegance).
Then, for the 15-35 years old, we created the innovative label ADZ ® Lo
Projècte, its aim is to project itself onto the trends of the
sustained development (nature, cultural diversity, sports involving sliding
motion, music...).
So, we hope that these 3 different universes will correspond to your reality;
whatever the way you live, we should have an answer (well, we think!).
