Anne, Theo and Oscar · L’Impérial, the back print
The idea
Born to reign.
Inspired by royal portraits and Empire-style imagery, L’Impérial places your companion among the great names of history. Ornaments, drapery and a solemn composition change the setting — never their gaze.
- The frame
A centred design, ornamental frame and careful treatment of fabrics and drapery. The setting moves to another century.
- The subject
Their face, gaze and body shape remain exactly those in your photo.
L’Impérial comes in a single colour interpretation, because its ornamental effect relies on texture and shades.
How it works
Three steps, with nothing to draw yourself.
-
Choose the piece
The hoodie colour and size, from XS to 2XL in a unisex fit.
-
Add their photo, name and birth year
A clear photo of your pet, their name and birth year exactly as you want them to appear.
-
We create, then print
Our studio creates and checks the design, then sends it to print in Europe. Allow 7 to 10 working days until delivery.
Free delivery in France and Belgium, with no minimum spend. Shipping to Switzerland available, costs shown at checkout.
Our promise
If it doesn’t look like them, we start again.
No design goes into production without being checked. If the likeness isn’t right, we rework the design; if the photo won’t allow a faithful result, we contact you before printing. If the piece you receive is defective, we offer a full refund for the affected piece with no return required, once the defect is confirmed.
No portrait goes into production without a human review.
Their photo
You don’t need a perfect photo, just a clear one.
Three points are enough. A phone photo works perfectly, and an older photo does too if it is clear.
Light
Daylight near a window, or outside in the shade. Flash flattens shapes and makes the gaze harsh.
Front view or three-quarter view
The royal portrait is frontal by design, and a photo from above makes your companion look smaller.
A clear, unobstructed face
No hand, lead or toy in front of the head, and no motion blur.
Our studio checks every image before printing and contacts you if yours cannot produce a faithful portrait.
The piece
Size, care and delivery
Size
Unisex fit, XS to 2XL. Garment measurements are shown below. Between sizes, choose the larger one for a looser look.
Care
- Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
- Wash and iron inside out, never over the design.
- Dry flat or tumble dry on low heat.
- Do not dry clean or bleach.
Delivery
Free in France and Belgium, with no minimum spend. For Switzerland, shipping costs are shown at checkout and duties, taxes and any import fees remain the recipient’s responsibility. Generally allow 7 to 10 working days from ordering to delivery.
The design is printed into the fabric. Washed inside out, it lasts as long as the garment.
Frequently asked questions
Before creating your piece.
More answers are available on our dedicated page.
Which photo should I send?
A clear, well-lit image, front-facing or slightly to the side, with the face unobstructed. Avoid flash, backlighting, photos from above and anything covering the head.
What if the portrait doesn’t look like them?
We rework the design. If the photo won’t allow a faithful result, we contact you before any printing. If the piece you receive is defective, we offer a full refund for the affected piece with no return required, once the defect is confirmed.
Why is there no preview before buying?
An instant result would inevitably be approximate. We prefer to create the design after ordering, check it and revise it if needed.
Will I be able to approve the design before printing?
There is no routine customer approval step. However, every portrait is individually reviewed and revised if the likeness or quality falls short of expectations.
What gives L’Impérial its character?
The ornamental effect relies on the textures, drapery and shades of the portrait. Every detail is kept to give the design its depth and heritage feel.
Which species do you accept?
All, without exception: dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, rodents and reptiles. If your pet has a face and a gaze, we can create their portrait.
Why €99?
The price covers a 280 g/m² hoodie with an organic cotton outer face, a design created just for your pet and the time spent checking it before printing. Since nothing is produced in advance, there is no stock to clear and no clearance discount.
Can I return a personalised piece?
Our pieces are personalised from your photo: no returns for a change of mind when the piece matches your order. If a defect is confirmed, we offer a full refund for the affected piece, with no return required. Your statutory rights remain unaffected. See our returns policy for the terms.
