ABOUT THE FABRIC

WHO MADE THIS TOP

The 02/12 Backless Top Linen is designed in Munich by our mastermind and fantastic tailor, Sabine Dicklberger. It is produced by our manufacturing partner Studio U&N near Chemnitz in Germany.

WHAT IS SO GOOD ABOUT THIS TOP

The Material. This fabric is amazing because it combines the smoothness of Tencel™ Lyocell with the slight structure of Linen, minus its wrinkle propensity. Linen and Tencel™ Lyocell are a top team in terms of sustainability. Both have a comparably small carbon footprint. Furthermore their production, from cultivating Linen to manufacture Tencel™ Lyocell is water-saving.

The Look. The 02/12 Backless Top Linen is a multitalent – goes with nearly everything for every occasion, at slightly higher temperatures.
