fou / crazy bisou / kiss foubisou is a made-to-order crochet brand marked by unique and one-of-a-kind pieces. Every item in my shop is handmade in San Francisco, with love by me, Lily Foucault. Derived from my last name & the french word for ‘crazy’, foubisou is inspired by all things beautiful, silly, & imperfect. Just like the song Zou Bisou Bisou, foubisou evokes a feeling of playfulness, nonchalance, and femininity. As a self-taught crocheter and lifelong creative, I fell in love with creating crochet as clothing - and had a mission to reinvent the way we think about crochet (I'm looking at you, granny squares). After years of trial and error, learning, and honing in on my aesthetic, foubisou was born - in all of its imperfect, DIY glory. In an increasingly digitized and mechanized world, I am proud to use my two hands to slowly craft garments that can be worn for years to come and passed down for generations. More

Hi, I'm Tommy.  I'm from Fairfax, California, and I love this little town I call home. My happy places are all in the outdoors. I grew up hiking and cycling through the hills of Marin County, soaking in the splendor. Creating art is a way for me to connect with my surroundings. I try to bring out the essence of the view I'm experiencing. Sometimes that takes the form of bold color and line. Other times it is watercolor and ink, or a pen and pencil sketch.  I enjoy creating outdoors, on location. I treat these “power spots” as places of reflection. Today, we are faced with an increasingly disparate, disconnected society and climate. I believe connectivity through positive imagery can help right our collective course. Everything you'll find on my site is designed for getting outdoors, adventuring, and being who you are. I make things that I like to wear, with careful attention paid to materials, fit, and combinations of color. I hope my... More
