Handkerchief Top - Sand Stripe

$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 to create a unique silhouette.

This variation on the KATALYST favourite  is made in a light and airy silk/cotton organza that is crisp and responds well to the gathers and folds of this style. This material has a sand-coloured sheer base with a white and black fine stripe woven through. 

For this variation, we have added a second layer of the silk/cotton underneath, turned 90 degrees to create a subtle check pattern for those who look closely. This also provides some modesty for the semi-sheer textile without losing its floatiness.

The selvedge is showcased at the armhole of the top and along the hem of the underlay, a nod to the often unseen details of a fabric. 

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.

This style is a flexible fit so please refer to the size chart below for further guidance. 

Made from deadstock fabric. Made in Magandjin (Brisbane).

Size Chart

The Handkerchief Top is a freeform garment that can be worn in multiple ways.

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.
