Live Friday 31 July — join the early-access list for first look, before anyone else.

Meet the Vita, named for Vita Sackville-West — who wore breeches and a man's shirt and made everyone else in the room look as though they'd tried too hard.

There's something irresistibly feminine about a woman in a borrowed, boyish look, and the Vita is that idea worked into a single piece: a fine ivory knit with a tie built into an open collar, worn loose, thrown on, undone on purpose.

Look closer and the ease gives way to detail — a diamond-panel openwork so fine it reads as broderie, in a cool, breathable cotton-rayon made for the warmer months. It does the quiet work of a white shirt and pairs with anything, but it was never really a basic. It only dresses like one.

One of those gold dust pieces: it says careless to the world, and then you put it on, and it feels considered, cool, and quietly luxurious — anything but.

Yarn

COMPOSITION

57% viscose, 43% cotton.

Crafted from a fine & delicate cotton-viscose yarn, this garment has a crisp & slinky drape & a surprisingly dry hand feel, making it perfect for the warmer months as a stand alone piece, but equally suitable for the cooler months as a layering piece worn as part of an ensemble.

Knitted in China.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Machine wash at 30 degrees.

Sustainability

We work hard to maximise the sustainability of each piece, from the sourcing of the raw materials, & the spinning & dying of the yarn, though to the manufacture & transportation of the final product.

The clever little details...

A tie, knotted in

The soft open collar comes finished with its own knitted tie, worked into the blouse rather than sewn on and left in a loosely knotted fall — a quiet borrowing from an earlier, more considered kind of dressing.

Crisp, dry, & quietly drapey

A fine diamond pointelle with an unexpected hand — dry and crisp to the touch, yet fluid enough to fall and move with you, the openwork tracing a soft lattice of light across the knit.

Versatility of wear with small side vents

The superfine deep ribbed hem can be worn tucked in to accentuate the waist, or worn loose over a pair of casual trousers or shorts for a more relaxed look
