Welcome to Crème DU CRIME. I’m Christian Giraldo, a lifelong storyteller and underworld obsessive. When I was twelve, I stumbled on an old newspaper clipping about Pablo Escobar. Reading how entire neighborhoods fell silent whenever his motorcade rolled by hooked me for life. From that moment on, I chased every case I could find: cold files in dusty police archives, grainy black-and-white photos of forgotten mobsters, witness interviews that felt more like confessions.

In early 2024, I decided to turn my obsession into something bigger—a YouTube channel where I unpack the real stories behind the headlines, and now this shop, where each print and photograph is more than wall art but a portal into history’s darkest corners. Every piece in Crème du Crime has been handpicked for its ability to transport you straight to the heart of the action, whether it’s a grainy mug shot from Prohibition or a clandestine snapshot of an ’80s cartel summit.

My mission is simple: to preserve these moments before they’re lost and to share them with curious minds who, like me, believe that a single image can speak volumes. Thank you for joining me.
