Like Fanfan la Tulipe in 18th-century France…
A little insolent, wonderfully daring, witty, carefree, brave — and always ready to save the day.
This shirt is exactly that kind of piece: fresh, luxurious and effortlessly practical. The one you reach for when you have absolutely no idea what to wear — and somehow, it always works.
Wear it your way: open as a little jacket, tied at the waist, or simply left loose and floating over a pair of trousers.
100% silk, light as a feather and deliciously cool against the skin, even in the hottest weather.
And the best part? No ironing needed.
Just hand-wash it gently with a little hair shampoo, hang it on a hanger, don’t wring it — and voilà.
Very chic. Very easy.
I chose a distinctly feminine cut — and I promise, it flatters everyone.
A collar that is just the right size.
Sleeves deliberately made long, so you can roll them up as you please.
Handmade buttons created from leftover fabric.
And then there is that little scarf around the neck…
Magic.
And the colour…
A deep, raven-black shade — black as a raven’s wing, wild blackberries and the coffee grounds at the bottom of your cup.
Sexy.
One size.
