Description

Sometimes it's the little details that make a simple top feel special. The Gathered Shell is crafted from Mela Purdie's lightweight Japanese Organdy, with a cool, crisp handle that gives the silhouette beautiful shape while remaining light to wear. Soft gathers across the shoulders create gentle volume through the body, balanced by a neat stand collar, capped sleeves and an easy relaxed fit. In this fresh lilac shade, it's a lovely way to introduce spring colour – pair it with pale neutrals for a soft tonal look, or let it brighten your favourite black or navy pants.
