Atea Top

Product Details

The exaggerated gathering on the wide sleeves of the Atea Top brings a touch of drama to a classically shaped design. A colourful, soft, easy-to-wear piece, the Atea Top can be tucked into jeans, pants and skirts or worn loose and draped for a more daytime look. The folded cuff sleeves are tacked in place, fall just below the elbow and have been designed so the top of the armhole sits closer to the neckline so the dramatic sleeve doesn’t make you look broad-shouldered. The fabric has a silky touch hand feel with soft drape and a slight sheen.

• Statement wide, gathered sleeves
• Contains ECOVERO™ fibres
• Elasticated keyhole back closure
• Available in olive or in our Flaese print

Material

62% ECOVERO™ Viscose 38% Viscose Rayon

This smooth, floaty fabric has a matte sheen that gives it the perfect versatility to dress up or down. Colours and prints have a vibrant finish, while the lightweight nature of the fabric provides comfort and drape.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibres are derived from sustainable wood and pulp, coming from certified and controlled sources. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres have been certified with the EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001) as meeting high environmental standards throughout their life cycle: from raw material extraction to production, distribution and disposal. The manufacturing of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generates up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose. According to Higg MSI™ tools, CO2 emissions and fossil resource use are approximately half that of the industry average. A special manufacturing system enables LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres to be identified in the final product, even after long textile processing and conversion steps through the value chain.

We are working with not-for-profit organisation Canopy to ensure that all our forest-based fabrics are responsibly sourced from sustainable forestry and preference those with a green shirt ranking according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. Our partnership with Canopy includes a commitment to ensure all of our viscose products have not been sourced from ancient and endangered forests. Our traceability systems confirm the viscose fibres in this garment are from green shirt rated producers.

The fibres used in this blend are renewable and biodegradable.

Size and Fit

Designed as a regular fit. The top of the armhole sits closer to the neckline so that the dramatic sleeve doesn’t make you look broad shouldered. The key fit points to check for best size are the bust, hem and length.

All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
