Love of Stripes

The Striped Legacy: Where Portland Meets Timeless Style

At Kinetic Love Studio, we draw inspiration from the cities that have shaped our identity: Paris and Portland. While the bold striped pattern has long been synonymous with the streets of Paris, at Kinetic Love Studio, we reinterpret this classic design through the creative lens of Portland, Oregon—the city we now call home.

Portland is a city that celebrates individuality, art, and the beauty of the unexpected. Known for its flannel shirts and down-to-earth aesthetic, Portland is much more than its outdoor-loving, casual style. It's a place where creatives, innovators, and free spirits gather, united by their shared love of craft, sustainability, and authenticity. This is where stripes fit seamlessly into the broader fabric of Portland’s culture.

Stripes, much like Portland itself, are both timeless and adaptable. They can be minimalist yet make a statement, much like the city’s understated urban vibe. Our striped t-shirts are inspired by Portland’s modern yet classic approach to design—clean lines, bold contrasts, and a sense of effortlessness. Just like the streets of Portland, where the old blends with the new, stripes serve as a versatile canvas that can be dressed up or down, bold or subtle, depending on your mood.

In Portland’s hipster neighborhoods, where creativity and individuality reign supreme, striped patterns take on new meanings. They represent a break from tradition, a fresh take on timeless style. Whether you're exploring the vibrant art scene, sipping locally roasted coffee, or hiking through lush forests, our striped t-shirts are designed to move with you, inspired by the versatility and artistic spirit that define Portland.

This is more than just a shirt; it’s a celebration of Portland’s culture: the spirit of innovation, the embrace of simplicity, and the deep connection to sustainable, slow fashion. By merging the iconic French stripe with Portland's independent, free-thinking ethos, our designs offer a modern take on classic fashion, tailored for today’s urban adventurer.

At Kinetic Love Studio, we believe in timeless design, and our striped tees are a nod to the past, present, and future—just like the city that inspires them.
