About the Item
This vibrant 1990 original French advertising poster boldly proclaims: “La chaussette, c’est La Bonnal” (“The sock, it's La Bonnal”). Bursting with charm and playful sophistication, the artwork features two animated black panthers—one adult and one child—stylishly clad in mismatched, brightly colored socks. The larger panther, adorned with a green-striped necktie and umbrella in hand, strikes a dignified pose, while the smaller feline stands bashfully, perhaps mimicking their stylish role model. Both characters are rendered in a whimsical cartoon style that adds humor and approachability to the brand’s message.
Set against a powerful red background, the contrasting black and blue panthers, along with the bold black-and-white text, create a visually striking and memorable composition. The use of animals—particularly sleek, mysterious panthers—adds a layer of allure and sophistication while keeping the tone fun and family-friendly.
La Bonnal, a lesser-known French sock brand of the time, used this campaign to associate its product with quality, tradition, and a playful sense of fashion. Posters like this one were designed not only to promote the practicality of everyday wear like socks but to bring personality and life to consumer goods in the public eye.
Today, this piece is a delightful slice of late 20th-century French commercial art. It represents a time when even utilitarian products like socks were marketed with flair, humor, and graphic creativity—making it a treasured find for collectors of vintage advertising and lovers of bold, character-driven poster design.

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design.
Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents.
The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design.
A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
