The attention to quality and detail is abundant with crisp premium fabrics from Italy, Japanese trimming, pure silk lining and the re-invention of the all-important basic items. Creating a higher standard in wardrobe essentials tee’s and tanks are butter soft and made from the best in featherweight modal jersey.

Exaggerated slouchy shaped tops and baggy pocket skirts are worn perfectly with pleated front shorts (pictured) and denim dresses. The men’s knits feature Italian mother-of-pearl buttons and waxed Japanese cord in the hooded jackets.
