𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡

LIV is knit top-down in one piece, completely without seams. Elegant raglan increases shape the shoulders, while subtle ribbing at the neckline and hem and crisp I-cord edges along the armholes give it a refined, store-bought finish. Worked in a light silk-cotton blend, it drapes beautifully and stays cool on warm days.

A timeless, minimalist design that pairs effortlessly with jeans or tailored trousers — equally at home as a breezy solo top in summer or layered over a shirt.
