From paris to lisbon
the story
Le Mot was founded in 2017 by Susana Santos, a lifelong fashion enthusiast with a love for France and an affinity for Parisian style. After six years in Paris, Susana returned to her hometown, Lisbon, yet found herself missing that unmistakable French je ne sais quoi.
Constantly searching for t-shirts with a clean, French-inspired aesthetic, Susana decided to create her own brand, Le Mot, to bring a touch of France to her life and to everyone else craving it. Inspired by her love of words - especially French ones (because, let’s face it, everything sounds sexier in French) - Susana founded Le Mot as a brand for t-shirt lovers with a sense of humor who want to wear their favorite words proudly, close to their hearts.
A PASSION FOR WORDS
the founder
Susana began her career at Elle magazine in Portugal, but her passion for for fashion drew her to Paris. Working at prestigious houses like Jean Paul Gaultier and Nina Ricci, she immersed herself in haute couture, learning that in luxury, every detail counts. While Paris offered endless inspiration, Susana missed the sunny streets of Lisbon. After six years, she returned, driven to create a brand that captured Paris’s elegance and charm.
“I want to create pieces that makes you feel special, that inspires dreams. I want our designs to spark something on you: an emotion, a memory, a feeling. Each detail is intentional and planned with great care, inspired by the charm of Paris, but made to be lived in, day after day. These are timeless pieces that stay with you, grow with you, and become part of your story, now and forever."
