Sizes that match the chart
We measure every sample by hand, so the chart on each product describes the garment you will get.

Everything is cut and sewn ten minutes from the shop
We work with two family-run workrooms in Salt River and Woodstock. You are welcome to visit both on the first Saturday of the month.
Linen and cotton we can trace
Our linen comes from one mill in Portugal. Our cotton is grown and woven in South Africa.
Small batches, few leftovers
We cut forty to sixty of each style. If a style sells well, we make it again in a new colour.
Mending for as long as you own it
Lose a button or pop a seam and we fix it for free. Post it to us or drop it off at the shop.
Before you order
Questions we hear at the till
Not sure about a size? Send us a message and we will measure the garment for you.
How do I find my size?
Every product has its own size chart, measured from the finished garment. Our linen runs roomy, so if you are between two sizes, take the smaller one.
What if it does not fit?
Send it back within 30 days, unworn and with the tags on. Returns are free anywhere in South Africa.
How long does delivery take?
Two to four working days to the main centres, and up to six to smaller towns. You get a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
How should I wash linen?
Wash it cold on a gentle cycle and hang it to dry. It softens with every wash, and only needs an iron if you like it crisp.
New colours land on the first Friday of every month
Most runs are forty pieces. Come in early, or shop the new rail online.
