Hélas is a French skateboarding brand founded in 2011 by professional skateboarder Lucas Puig. Built at the crossroads of skate, music, art, and photography, the brand has carved out a distinct space in the international streetwear and skate scene since its inception.
What sets Hélas apart is a deliberate refusal to separate sportswear from casual wear. Every piece is rooted in street culture without abandoning wearability, backed by quality materials and a sharp visual identity that stays consistent across collections. The brand has been known since the beginning by its signature mark: « La Marque au Parapluie », the umbrella brand, a detail that reflects the coherence and intentionality behind everything Hélas puts out.
Empire is proud to carry Hélas clothing and accessories in stores across Quebec and online at thinkempire.com. For skaters and streetwear enthusiasts looking for a European brand with genuine skate culture behind it, Hélas delivers exactly that: a French perspective on skateboarding with an aesthetic that resonates far beyond its origins.
Hélas clothing and accessories at Empire.
The Hélas selection available at Empire spans apparel and accessories, pieces designed to move between the skatepark and the street without losing their identity. The construction is clean, the references are real, and the brand's cultural depth shows in every drop.
Hélas brings a level of credibility that most streetwear brands can't claim. That legitimacy runs through the entire product line, making Hélas a natural fit for Empire's roster of brands where skate culture and street style genuinely overlap.
