Paul Corps – The Story Behind the Art

Art should be accessible to all, be something personal, that you can wear and make your own.

It’s where expression meets utility, and where personal style becomes a canvas for creativity. At Paul Corps, I bring this connection to life through custom printed fashion—made to be worn. Made to be meaningful." The background shows trees, a street, and parked cars.

🎨 About Paul Corps

Custom Printed Fashion, Made with Intention

Hi, I’m Paul — the artist behind Paul Corps. I started this brand because I wanted to share my artwork through custom printed fashion — on shoes, accessories, and garments that people could wear, love, and truly make their own.

I’ve always seen fashion as a canvas — a way to bring creativity into everyday life. But I also care deeply about how things are made, and what happens to them after. That’s why I chose a print-on-demand model that gives me full creative freedom, avoids mass production, and makes each piece a thoughtful, purposeful creation.

👟 Custom Printed Fashion, Designed to Be Worn (and Reworn)

Each Paul Corps piece starts with one of my original designs and is made to order — just for you. This approach means:

  • No stockpiles
  • No waste from overproduction
  • Just thoughtful, one-at-a-time creation

And because each piece is made with intention, I hope it’s not just worn — but reworn, repurposed, and passed on. I believe art should live beyond trends — something lasting, expressive, and uniquely yours.n.

♻️ Designing with What’s Real

When I launched Paul Corps, I looked for a way to create and sell on my own terms. That led me to a supplier offering custom printed fashion through on-demand production — and I’ve stuck with them ever since.

I’m happy to say they’ve backed up that model with clear sustainability reporting and ethical business practices, which matters a lot to me.

Some materials I use, like PVC totes and polyester canvas shoes, aren’t biodegradable. Right now, better options simply don’t exist for the kind of design, strength, and quality I need. So I do what I can:

  • I design pieces to last
  • I work with partners who minimise production waste
  • I encourage people to wear and rehome what they’ve loved

It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress — and being honest about every step along the way.

🌱 Always Learning, Always Evolving

Ethical fashion has always mattered to me. I’ve seen how hard it can be to trace the origins of what we wear — and how important it is to change that.

That’s why I’m exploring more sustainable materials, like certified organic cotton and recycled polyester, especially for future collections of garments and hats. But I’ll only release them when they meet both my standards for quality and my commitment to sustainability.

👜 Pre-Loved by Paul Corps

In addition to creating new pieces, I also curate a small collection of pre-loved fashion — unique items like vintage leather wallets, clutch bags, and shoulder bags. These are carefully sourced and chosen for their character, quality, and potential to be worn and loved again.

Incorporating pre-loved items into my store is a natural extension of my values: reducing waste, celebrating longevity, and giving new life to fashion. Whether it’s something I’ve designed or something I’ve discovered, it all belongs to a slower, more intentional way of dressing.

🙌 Art That Means More

Paul Corps isn’t about fast fashion. It’s about stories, expression, and creative choices that carry meaning. It’s about making art wearable — and making it last.

Thanks for choosing fashion that’s made slowly, worn often, and shared with care

Paul Corps — Art that is meant to be worn. And reworn. Responsibly.
