Everything you need to know about Charles Leclerc’s new merch line, CL16
It’s one big announcement after another for the 28-year-old Monegasque Formula One driver. Soon after sharing the news of his engagement to long-time girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, he takes to Instagram to announce the launch of his new line of merch, CL16. The brand name makes references to Charles Leclerc’s official car number, #16, and his birthday, 16th October, 1997.
“What began as an idea to create fan wear he would proudly wear himself has grown into a considered collection of modern pieces that reflect his style and attention to detail,” states CL16. It adds: “The brand is a personal expression of his creativity and style beyond racing.”
The Fall/Winter 2025 collection comprises two hoodies (one made from a unique wool blend), three shirt designs, and various accessories, including an oversized scarf, socks, and headwear. There is also a knitted turtleneck sweater for pets—an adorable nod to Leclerc and Saint Mleux’s pet dog, Leo. The campaign was shot in a launderette by photographer Antoine Truchet, starring Leclerc, Saint Mleux, and Leo.
