 ‘The designs are typical André: full of energy, poetry and positivity’ says Longchamp’s creative director, Sophie Delafontaine. Such themes are reflected in all Saraiva’s work, which champions bright colors and cartoonlike characters.

André’s art is an archetypal feature of modern Parisian life, and his work a defining element of the city’s streets, fusing his unique creativity with the French capital’s cultural heritage.
