Croft long sleeve linen blouse

Designed with a sense of calm, comfort and ease.

Thoughtfully designed, cut and made in Lancashire.

Cut from beautifully soft, laundered linen, Croft combines a relaxed silhouette with gentle shaping through the sides, designed to skim rather than cling to the body.

A softly structured Peter Pan collar brings character to the neckline, while natural shell buttons fasten the front. Bracelet-length sleeves feature a carefully placed pleat and contrasting stitch detail at the cuff, adding a subtle point of interest.

Comfortable and quietly distinctive, Croft is an easy piece to wear throughout the seasons.

Fabric

European linen, produced in small batches in Eastern Europe, a region with a longstanding tradition of flax spinning and linen weaving.

Woven in a mill powered by renewable energy, the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified and has been softly laundered for a relaxed, comfortable finish.

The story 

Croft is named after a small lodge. It was a special enchanting place growing up, where we would play, dip for tadpoles and pond skaters. In the coldest winter months we would skate across the frozen surface.
