The retro pointelle knit shirt
A feminine piece, both in its cut and its decorative detail, the openwork flowers is the ultimate charm… The polo collar and the ribbed finishes give it structure. The tubular buttoning and mother-of-pearl buttons ensure a perfect drape. A piece to be worn on its own, open or closed, with any bottom.. It ensures a singular expression to an outfit.
Knitted in Egyptian mako cotton ELS: this Giza cotton is the very essence of classic cotton, in an ultra-soft version, which can be worn in all seasons, on its own, because it doesn't need anything else to standout. The mako variety, from Upper Egypt, is a controlled appellation whose thread is extremely fine and silky.
Each colour of this knit is dyed by skeins directly onto the yarn before spinning, using vegetable pigments and natural agents for fixation, creating depth and uniqueness to the colours.
