Description
A classic Breton top always deserves a place in your wardrobe - and when it has that little something extra its even better.

Beautiful sewn in a traditional striped knit, it's just as striking in a plain jersey. Ready to board your handmade wardrobe, PIRATE is set to become your new everyday favourite.
