Les Impatients: Jean-Paul Houle’s Restless Canvas Finds New Form

With Les Impatients, artist Jean-Paul Houle channels the vibrant unease of human emotion. Each canvas a study in tension, urgency, and release. His bold palette and layered textures transform impatience into a creative force, capturing the energy of moments that refuse to wait.

To mark the launch of the collection, we partnered with Houle to create a limited-edition custom bag, hand-printed with one of his original works from Les Impatients. Crafted from 100% duck canvas and made in Montréal at our Mile End studio, the bag embodies the same spirit of craftsmanship and authenticity that defines Houle’s art. Each piece is printed and finished by hand, merging the tactile precision of fine art with the durability of functional design.

A fusion of art, material, and place, the collaboration celebrates Montréal’s creative pulse and Houle’s enduring commitment to making beauty out of restlessness.
