Product Details
This is our June top in a hemp and organic cotton woven fabric that is lightweight. The design has a simple neckline, with a peplum at the bottom and adjustable bow tie straps at the shoulder. It has a loose fit resulting in a trapeze shape that is comfortable but also flattering. This top works really well as a versatile piece in a capsule wardrobe.
We hand make each top in our workshop in Nottingham, England. Each item is made-to-order, minimising fabric wastage.

SUSTAINABLE
We make this June top from hemp and organic cotton that is OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified as free from harmful chemicals. Organic cotton is more sustainable that regular cotton because the process is based on long-term thinking. Organic cotton farming does not use synthetic insecticides, fungicides, herbicides or fertilisers. Farmers maintain healthy soil through crop rotation, preventing the loss of nutrients into water bodies and so avoiding water pollution and the need for artificial fertilisers. Organic cotton farming also uses significantly less water than ordinary cotton, whereby farmers rely mainly on rainwater. Find out more about organic farming at the Textile Exchange!
Hemp is also a sustainable fabric as it has a high yield (twice as much fibre as flax that is used to make linen) and it has a short growing period such that it can be planted 4 times in a year. Moreover, it returns up to 70% of the nutrients used back into the soil. As if this wasn’t enough, it also requires little water, reduces pests and doesn’t need fertilisers or pesticides. To top it off, hemp is the most carbon negative crop, absorbing more carbon than it produces!
The labels we use are made from recycled fabric that is OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified. We also package the product in recycled paper and ship using reusable and compostable mailbags.

A beautiful top that looks amazing paired with the Poppy trousers in the same colour! It’s adjustable and the fit is great, and the material and stitching feels very high quality. Their customer service is also fantastic, I emailed with sizing concerns and Suzie was so friendly and helpful. Will be buying from you again in the future!
