Noir et Noir was founded by David Cortes in Toronto in 2017, starting with graphic tees built around a single idea: a wardrobe doesn't need excess to make an impression. That idea held. What's changed is the scale of what carries it.

In 2026, Noir et Noir moves beyond graphic tees into fashion, full pieces designed with the same restraint that defined the brand from day one. Versatile, high-quality garments that move from casual to semi-formal without missing a beat, favouring classic lines over trend-chasing.

Our black-on-black aesthetic, offered in matte and glossy finishes, is where that idea lives most clearly. Understated by design, impactful by result, each piece is made to be worn often and to last.

NoirTees.ca and Customization

In 2022, that vision expanded into NoirTees, our division for personalization. Custom-printed t-shirts, tote bags, and laser-engraved accessories, produced one at a time with no minimum order. Our partnership with Artik, one of Toronto's most trusted screen printers, means every custom piece meets the same standard as the rest of the collection.

Laser engraving added personalized jewelry, leather goods, and glassware to the offering, each piece bespoke, each one made to carry a story.

Our Commitment

We build in Toronto because we want to see what we make. Quality, individuality, and craftsmanship guide every decision, from material to finish.

We believe in restraint. Less, done properly, says more than more ever could. A graphic tee, a tailored jacket, a custom tote, an engraved keepsake, each is a small proof of that idea, whatever form the brand takes next.

Noir et Noir is not just clothing. It is a way of dressing with intention. Thank you for being part of it.
