Description

Cut with a hard taper through body and sleeve. Boxy at the shoulder, narrowing through the torso into a silhouette that's loose and considered. The purple calls for a long pleated skirt or wide trousers: give the fit room to read. Built to last: 500 GSM heavyweight cotton, chosen for structure and drape.

Frequently asked questions

Where is this product made?

This crewneck is hand sewn in Barcelos, Portugal, in a small family-run knitting facility. The cotton is sourced from European suppliers and the dyes, prints and finishing are all done locally — keeping the supply chain short and traceable.

How does the fit run?

The fit is boxy and oversized, sitting slightly cropped at the hip. If you prefer a more fitted look we recommend sizing down. Check the size guide on this page for specific chest, length and shoulder measurements.

How should I care for this?

Machine wash cold, inside out. Hang to dry — do not tumble dry, as the natural fibres can shrink. Do not iron directly on any print.

What is the houdbaarheid return policy?

<em>Houdbaarheid</em> means shelf-life in Dutch. When you are done with this garment, return it to us and receive 10% of the purchase price back. We give it a second life through repair, resale, or recycling — closing the loop instead of sending textiles to landfill.

Is this product unisex?

Yes. All our garments are designed unisex, with boxy oversized silhouettes that work across body types. Sizes range from XS to 2XL — see the size guide for the specific measurements per size.
