Where to buyFounder’s Note
The balance matters as much as the fabric.
The starting point was a tee that feels complete without being tucked in. A considered length, a straight fit, and sleeves that give the arm line a little definition—simple decisions that change how an everyday piece looks.
Rose Petal cotton interlock brings the softness. The proportions do the rest.
— Erica
A good length. Nothing to arrange.
Leave it out over trousers or a skirt and let the hem finish the silhouette. The straight fit is designed to feel balanced on its own, without needing a tuck to adjust the proportions.
THE MATERIAL
Rose Petal Cotton Interlock
Rose Petal finish
A finishing treatment that gives the fabric its soft, gently supple handfeel. Rose Petal describes the finish—not an added rose fibre or fragrance.
Interlock structure
A double-knit construction with a smooth face on both sides. It gives the tee a soft body and a more composed feel than a very light single jersey.
How it feels
Soft and smooth against the skin, with enough body to hold a clean line. Supple rather than crisp; comfortable rather than oversized.
The quiet details
A self-fabric neckline
The neckband uses the same fabric as the body, rather than rib. A clean finish keeps the neckline understated and the surface consistent.
A small M
A discreet embroidered M sits near the hem. A small signature, kept out of the way of the silhouette.
A considered sleeve line
The sleeve shape brings a little definition to the upper arm, balancing the simple, straight body.
Wear it your way. Start untucked.
Left untucked
Keep the full hem visible with trousers or a skirt. This is the proportion the tee was designed around.
A small change
Wear it untucked beneath an open jacket. The clean neckline keeps the layering simple.
Fit & sizing
A balanced straight fit. Compare these garment measurements with a tee you already enjoy wearing, paying particular attention to chest width and length.
