Must Make Monday: Staple Linen Top

Must Make Monday: Staple Linen Top

Handmade essentials are the name of the game these days at fibre space, and nothing fits the bill quite so well as the Staple Linen Tank by Joji Locatelli.  This top-down tank features a unique construction that minimizes finishing. The Staple Linen Tank is the perfect capsule wardrobe piece – it can truly do it all. You can layer it with slacks and a blazer, pair it with a pencil skirt, and throw it on with jeans for a day out on the town. It can even layer over a button-down or shirt dress as a vest. We think this will knit up wonderfully in Pascuali Re-Jeans. The recycled cotton yarn will make a wardrobe piece that can be worn year-round, with a lovely drape and is completely washable! What color is going to join your closet?
