What materials is this top made from?

This top is crafted from a blend of 60% Lyocell (Tencel) and 40% European flax linen. Lyocell is derived from sustainably harvested eucalyptus wood pulp, producing a fiber that is exceptionally smooth, breathable, and biodegradable. The linen adds natural texture and cooling properties.

What makes the drape special?

The Lyocell-linen blend creates a fluid, liquid-like drape that moves with the body. The fabric has a subtle luster that catches light beautifully — it looks matte in shadow and gently luminous in direct light. The weight is perfectly calibrated: heavy enough to drape without clinging, light enough for warm-weather comfort.

What is the fit like?

This top has a relaxed, flowing silhouette with a gentle A-line shape. It features a slightly wider neckline and dropped shoulders that create an effortless, sculptural look. The hem falls at mid-hip with a subtle asymmetric detail. Between sizes, we recommend your usual size for the intended relaxed fit.

How should I care for this top?

Gentle machine wash at 30°C or hand wash in cold water. Use a mild detergent. The Lyocell fiber is naturally wrinkle-resistant, but if needed, iron on low heat while slightly damp. Hang dry in shade. Do not bleach or tumble dry. The fabric maintains its softness and drape through repeated washing.

Details

Lyocell and linen, woven together for a liquid drape that holds its shape. This cowl-neck halter top features an architectural neckline that frames the collarbone with sculptural precision. The sleeveless halter construction bares the shoulders while the draped cowl front adds volume and movement. In ivory, the piece carries the warmth of natural fiber with the refinement of considered design — effortless in appearance, intentional in every seam.

Drape as the design principle

Cowl-Neck Halter Top

The asymmetric hemline and one-shoulder construction are not decorative choices — they are structural decisions that allow the lyocell-linen blend to express its natural drape. The fabric falls in controlled cascades, creating volume through gravity rather than gathering.

Seams that disappear into the drape

The Construction

French seams throughout — the only seam finish that is completely enclosed and smooth against the skin. On a draped garment where the interior is occasionally visible, every internal detail must be as refined as the exterior.

Material

Normandy Flax Fields

Our lyocell-linen blend begins in the flax fields of Northern France, where the cool maritime climate produces the world's finest long-staple flax fiber. Rain-fed and requiring no irrigation, flax is among the most sustainable crops cultivated in Europe.

Composition: 60% Lyocell, 20% Linen, 20% Viscose.

Standard

Lyocell

60%

Full composition: 60% Lyocell, 20% Linen, 20% Viscose. A three-fiber blend engineered for fluid drape with natural texture.

20%

Linen contributes its signature natural texture and excellent breathability to the blend.

20%

Viscose adds drape and smoothness, complementing the lyocell's natural flow.

Color

Warm Apricot

The Warm Apricot palette — a sun-touched hue that sits between blush and terracotta, designed to complement every skin tone.

Atelier Proof

Dissolve, don't destroy

Wood pulp is dissolved in organic solvent rather than chemically broken down — preserving the cellulose structure that gives lyocell its exceptional strength and drape.

Full composition: 60% Lyocell, 20% Linen, 20% Viscose.

Cut on the bias

Key panels are cut on the bias grain to maximize the natural drape of the lyocell-linen blend — allowing the fabric to fall in fluid, sculptural folds rather than hanging flat.

Full composition: 60% Lyocell, 20% Linen, 20% Viscose.

Finish without weight

No sizing or stiffening agents. The fabric is finished with a gentle calendering that enhances the natural luster without adding any coating that would compromise breathability.

Lifetime Care & Repair Support

Gentle Washing

Hand wash in cool water or machine wash on delicate cycle. The lyocell-linen blend is naturally durable but benefits from gentle handling to preserve the fabric's refined texture.

Natural Drying

Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. The linen component may develop a natural softness over time — this is a characteristic of the fiber, not a defect.

*Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for best results. Store folded to prevent stretching.
