Handkerchief Top - Camel/Chocolate Scrap Patchwork Cotton

$205.00

The Handkerchief Top is a celebration of Kate’s textile-focused design process and playful manipulation of shapes. Derived from two simple squares of fabric and undulating lines of elastic, this top moulds to the body whilst simultaneously reacting against it toƒ create a unique silhouette.

This variation on the KATALYST favourite features a collection of chocolate, camel and white cottons, production offcuts that have been patched together to form this limited edition style. 

The camel, red  and white microplaid forms a fringe at the selvedge, a detail showcased at the armhole of the top. 

As a versatile, lightweight top it’s comfortable to wear in the summer or can be layered for cooler temperatures. It can be worn with either side at the front.

Made from short end deadstock fabric - only 16 available. Made in Meanjin (Brisbane).

The Handkerchief Top is a freeform garment that will sit differently on each body shape - See the size chart below for more information. 

Most Ready to Ship stock of this style has been delivered to our Meanjin stockists, Practice Studio (shop here) ,Open House and our Naarm/Melbourne stockist, Sucker (shop here).

Size Chart

The Handkerchief Top is a freeform garment that can be worn in multiple ways. This sizing is simply a guide - if you are at all unsure, click the button above to submit a custom enquiry.

The Handkerchief Top is best worn when the elastic can gather in and scrunch the fabric up, so you want to pick the size where the un-stretched measurement is closest to your bust measurement - if you’re sitting somewhere in the middle, go up a size.
