The Doudou is not just a tradition. In Mons, it is a true symbol of belonging, an unmissable event that brings together entire generations around a heritage recognised by UNESCO.
Every year, the people of Mons show their love for the Ducasse through a wide range of merchandise: T-shirts, accessories, collectables and handcrafted items.
It was in this spirit that our boxer shorts in the colours of the Doudou were created.
An original idea that has become a real success
When we came up with this underwear design inspired by Mons folklore, we wanted to offer something different: a product that was comfortable, high-quality and firmly rooted in local culture.
It might have seemed a bold move: combining the world of the Doudou with men’s underwear. Yet the public’s reaction has exceeded all our expectations.
According to the Novita shop in Mons, over 1,000 items have already been sold. A figure that speaks volumes about the people of Mons’ attachment to their traditions, but also their desire to wear them every day.
More than just a pair of boxer shorts, a nod to a unique tradition
The Doudou has been part of Mons’ identity for centuries. Every year, the city comes alive with the Car d’Or, the Lumeçon and the many festivities that attract thousands of visitors.
We wanted to capture this festive spirit and local pride in an original product, designed to be worn all year round.
Every pattern, every detail evokes this iconic world that makes the hearts of Mons’ residents beat faster.
Designed with comfort in mind
Beyond the nod to folklore, our priority remains quality.
Our boxer shorts are designed to offer:
- optimal everyday comfort
- fabrics that are pleasant to wear
- excellent durability
- prints that withstand repeated washing.
Because underwear shouldn’t just look good: it should also be comfortable to wear.
When tradition meets creativity
The success of these boxer shorts shows that it is possible to reinterpret local symbols creatively whilst respecting their history.
Seeing over 1,000 people choose this product is a real source of pride for our team.
It is also proof that the strongest traditions continue to inspire new generations and new products.
And who knows? Perhaps at the next Doudou festival, you’ll spot even more dragons… even under people’s trousers!
