archaea shirt

£175.00

a truly one of a kind garment with each edition that get’s sewn

inspired by archaea an ancient domain of microscopic colourful organisms that live in extreme environments such as geothermal springs, salt lakes & acid mine run offs
this playfully abstract unisex shirt is made from my linen off cuts shapes & roll ends

these textile works are a joy to make each one comes out different with it’s own character, so the shirt you will receive will not exactly the same but of the same kin ~ it’s very much trusting the process & you’ll come out with your own unique surprise!

Cut in a choice of colour palettes ~ I’d recommend choosing anything between 2-3 different colours for a nice balanced piece

the archaea shirt is a wide over size style fit & I think wears well as an over shirt with tops or long sleeves underneath, if has a collarless collar, an optional roomy patch pocket for belongings & a back pleat. It’s patchwork layering gives it a nice substantial feel.

made to order in 5 weeks

  • wash guide:
    I always think it’s best to wash infrequently & avoid over washing, as this helps garments live a bit longer.

    this shirt can be washed in a machine at 30 or handwashed, recommend steam iron after washing

    tips:
    linen seems to get better with wear and age, it might take some wears for the garment to soften and really feel like yours!
