What materials is this shirt made from?

This shirt is crafted from an innovative four-fiber blend: 40% cotton for structure, 20% Japanese washi paper fiber for its distinctive dry, papery texture, 20% Tencel for moisture management, and 20% rayon for fluid drape. The washi paper fiber is sourced from Japanese mulberry bark — the same material used in traditional calligraphy paper.

How does the washi paper fiber feel?

The washi paper fiber creates a uniquely crisp, dry hand-feel that softens beautifully with each wash. It has a subtle, almost papery crinkle that distinguishes it from conventional cotton shirts. The texture evolves over time without losing its character — it becomes softer while retaining its distinctive surface quality.

What is the fit like?

This shirt has a relaxed, oversized silhouette with dropped shoulders and generous ease through the torso. It sits approximately 8cm wider than a standard fit at the chest. Designed to be worn untucked, with a hem that falls below the hip. Between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a less oversized look.

How should I care for this shirt?

We recommend gentle machine wash at 30°C or hand wash. Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent. Hang dry in shade — the washi paper fiber is sensitive to prolonged direct sunlight. Iron on low heat if needed. Do not bleach or tumble dry. The fabric will naturally soften with washing while maintaining its structure.

Details

A four-fiber innovation — cotton, Japanese washi paper, Tencel, and rayon — engineered for a dry, crisp hand-feel that softens with each wear. This sleeveless jacquard knit tank features a scoop neckline and an intricate horizontal pattern woven directly into the fabric. The grey-blue tone shifts subtly in different light, revealing the depth of the jacquard construction. A piece that bridges artisanal craft and modern ease.

Volume that breathes, not billows

Jacquard Knit Tank

The relaxed silhouette is cut to create space between fabric and body — not for looseness, but for airflow. Dropped shoulders and a straight hem create a clean rectangle that moves quietly, without excess fabric or unnecessary gathering.

Seams that follow the fiber's logic

The Construction

Flat-felled seams throughout — chosen not for decoration, but because washi-blend fabric lies flatter and lasts longer when seam allowances are enclosed. Every internal finish is as considered as the external line.

Material

Japanese Mulberry Groves

The washi paper fiber in this blend is crafted from the bark of the mulberry tree (kozo), cultivated in the misty highlands of rural Japan. This centuries-old tradition produces an exceptionally lightweight, breathable fiber with natural moisture-wicking properties.

Equal parts Tencel and rayon complete the blend — Tencel for temperature regulation, rayon for drape.

Color

Soft Blue

The Soft Blue palette — a shade chosen for its ability to hold light without competing with it.

Atelier Proof

Honor the bark

Kōzo bark is hand-stripped and sun-bleached, preserving the long, resilient fibers that give washi its tensile strength and translucent quality.

Full composition: 40% Cotton, 20% Washi Paper, 20% Tencel, 20% Rayon.

Spin with restraint

Low-twist spinning keeps the paper fiber's natural texture intact — a deliberate roughness that softens with each wear without losing structure.

Full composition: 40% Cotton, 20% Washi Paper, 20% Tencel, 20% Rayon.

Finish with air

No chemical softeners or heavy pressing. The fabric is air-finished to preserve the natural hand-feel — crisp at first, then gradually molding to the wearer.

Lifetime Care & Repair Support

Gentle Washing

Hand wash in cool water with a pH-neutral detergent. The washi paper fiber is naturally strong when dry but requires gentle handling when wet. Do not wring or twist.

Air Drying

Lay flat on a clean towel and reshape while damp. The washi fiber dries quickly due to its natural moisture-wicking properties. Avoid tumble drying to preserve the fiber's unique texture.

*The natural irregularities in washi paper fiber are intentional and contribute to the fabric's artisanal character.
