The Design

Astrid is a woven design that reveals its detail through texture rather than print. On the right side, a subtle pattern of small square motifs is woven into the fabric, creating a refined, understated surface. On the reverse, the structure of the weave is visible, offering contrast and depth.

This duality creates a considered design detail when worn, particularly when sleeves are rolled or cuffs are turned back, allowing the reverse weave to become part of the garment’s visual story. Thoughtful and quietly expressive, Astrid adds interest through construction and finish rather than bold pattern.

The Fabric

Woven from cotton, this fabric has a soft hand feel with a lightly structured drape. The woven square detailing is integral to the fabric itself, not printed or applied, giving it durability and a distinctive tactile quality.

Comfortable and breathable, the fabric wears easily throughout the day while maintaining its shape. The visible weave on the reverse side highlights the craftsmanship of the material, making it both practical and visually engaging for everyday wear
