This is how we do basic! We’ve taken a wardrobe staple — the humble t-shirt — and elevated it to a chic, easy piece that’s destined to become a style you’ll reach for over and over, all year long. Crafted from the same soft bamboo fabric as our Stardusters, our Luxe Tees feature a flattering, wide scoop neck, relaxed seamless sleeve, side slits, and hem detailing with a hidden contrast print.

About the Print:

Inspired by poet Leonard Cohen’s famous quote “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in”, this design celebrates the ways our experiences shape us, and the perfect beauty of imperfection. Created using several pieces of Delft tile from the 1700’s — including two elaborate Italianate landscape scenes — we chose to leave in the cracks and slight imperfections from the original ceramic in our final print. Just as there is so much beauty in the patina, there is so much to embrace about the challenges we’ve overcome that make us who we are! The two patterns found in the trim come from an 1867 British book on classical ornamentation, and an earthenware plaque from the Netherlands painted in 1780. 

100% viscose (derived from plant based fibres such as wood and bamboo). Machine wash gentle or handwash and hang to dry. Iron to finish if needed.

Measurements: S/M — length 64cm (shoulder to hem), width 57cm (underarm to underarm), L/XL — length 75cm, 63cm width (underarm to underarm) Models information for reference: Djuna, our radiant redhead is 5’5” and wears a S/M. Tehani, our beautiful brunette, is 5’5” and wears a size L/XL.

One of our favourite things about this beautiful print is that it’s quietly rebellious — a celebration of cracks, flaws, and all the stories they tell. Instead of digitally "fixing" the broken bits of the 1700’s Delft tiles we used, we kept them — because isn’t that where the magic is?

Delftware, with its iconic blue-and-white motifs, was the European answer to the craze for Chinese porcelain in the 17th and 18th centuries — and over time, those hand-painted tiles developed their own unique charm, often featuring little scenes from everyday life. If you look closely, you’ll see hairline fractures running through the sweeping landscapes, like rivers of light. And that beautiful ginger jar on the sleeve? She’s a time traveler, borrowed from an 18th-century French watercolour. Even the trim is a patchwork of historical treasures, stitched together from classical patterns and Dutch ceramics. All of these elements come together to illustrate that beauty doesn't come from perfection — it comes from the stories we carry, and the moments that have shaped us.
