Retro Tee - Women - Bourette Silk - Butter
With the Retro Tee we were inspired by the iconic Jane Birkin.
The overall cut, the round neckline and the narrow sleeves reaching to the elbow are typical of the 70s. Feminine yet comfortable - a real favourite.
Compared to the Classic Tee, this cut is very body-hugging. If you prefer a looser fit, we recommend taking one size larger than normal.
Our XS size is perfect for young adult.
100% Organic Silk
Bourette silk is less sensitive than most other types of silk. However, it should not be washed at too high a temperature to maintain its quality.
Bourette silk is best washed by hand or in the wool or delicates programme of the washing machine. Silk should also only be spun lightly so that the delicate fibres are not damaged.
Like all silk fabrics, bourette is sensitive to alkali. Special silk detergents, on the other hand, are free of alkali as well as optical brighteners and enzymes, which can also damage the silk proteins.
