One sweater, several moods — a piece that lets colour do the talking


Some pieces earn their place before you’ve even put them on — the mixed emotions pull is one of them. This knit by Meagratia caught us first through colour: khaki easing into blue, then softening to pink, a shift you notice slowly rather than all at once. Then through the hand-feel — a cotton, wool and mohair blend with a little nylon for give — which turns a crew neck into something you reach for without thinking. Familiar shapes are exactly where small decisions in fibre and proportion start to count.

Colour has always been a way of saying two things at once. Think of Turner’s late skies, where grey and gold refuse to settle into a single weather. Or Monet’s Impression, Sunrise, where cool harbour blue and warm orange bleed into one another until you can’t say where the water ends and the sky begins. This knit works in that register — not a print, not a statement, just a slow dissolve from one mood to the next, which is precisely what the Fall/Winter 26 theme, mixed emotions, sets out to express.

Studio shot of a model wearing the mixed emotions pull by Meagratia, a relaxed-fit sweater paired with ash-brown trousers, set against a plain greyish-neutral studio background. The knit is the focal point: its colour shifts from khaki into blue, then softens to pink — a transition you notice gradually rather than all at once.

The piece

What makes the pull distinct is the gradient itself: a khaki base from the hemline gradually shifts into blue through the middle, lilac and soft pink along the neckline and shoulders, moving without a hard edge. The knit is a cotton, wool and mohair blend with a touch of nylon for added flexibility, finished with a classic crew neck and ribbed trims. The slightly oversized fit adds ease without losing its shape. Because the colour does the talking, it stands alone — no layering required.

Khaki, graduating to blue, lilac, soft pink —  like a painting still deciding on its mood. 

Made in Japan.

Worn your way


At work — With tailored trousers and a plain boot. Let the colour carry the look; keep the rest restrained.

On the move — With straight-leg denim and a leather crossbody, sleeves pushed up. An easy choice for a day spent moving around the city.

Out late — On its own with the couture charcoal leggings and high heels. The depth of colour gives it enough presence without any extra layer.

For the modern humans who curate, not consume — whose wardrobe is a library of dog-eared favourites, each piece a chapter in their story.

The round-hem long-sleeved tee by Ujoh

/ Leave a Comment
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Basics, never too basic: the everyday tee, reconsidered


The round-hem long-sleeved tee by Ujoh earns its place through the quiet intelligence of its construction. We picked it for its infinite wearability — and for two details that caught us here: the round hem, which falls longer at the back, and the fabric it’s cut from. Mocrody is a high-gauge knit with a distinct front and back that gives a simple tee a firmness you can feel the moment you put it on.

The T-shirt has travelled a long way from undergarment to everyday icon. And it’s precisely that familiarity that makes the smallest differences in cut, fabric and proportion matter.

Close-up studio shot of a model wearing the round-hem long-sleeve tee by Ujoh in deep purple, showing the curved hem and sleeve detail.

The piece

Ujoh’s signature long-sleeved tee is defined by its round hem, which drops longer at the back and gives the silhouette an easy, considered line. The real character lies in the mocrody fabric: a high-gauge knit made with fine-count Supima cotton, with different front and back construction that lends natural structure and firmness — so the tee holds its shape rather than clinging. A special softening finish makes it ultra-soft against the skin, while the fabric remains lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking. The result is a piece that behaves like a staple but reads like a design object: clean, minimal and effortless to wear.

Dark purple — the colour of an aubergine skin in low light. A quiet, saturated dark that reads almost black at a glance, then reveals its depth up close. Understated, yet never flat.

Made in Japan.

Worn your way


For the office — Tuck the front loosely into tailored wool trousers and layer under a relaxed blazer. The longer back hem keeps the line clean when seated, while the dark purple offers a quiet alternative to black.

For the city walk — Wear it loose over straight-leg denim or wide cotton trousers, sleeves pushed up, with a leather crossbody bag and worn-in sneakers. The breathable mocrody knit makes it a considered choice for a day on the move.

For the evening — Wear it on its own with pleated or fluid trousers and a minimal boot. The fabric’s natural structure gives the tee enough presence for dinner, while the round hem finishes the silhouette without effort.

For the modern humans who curate, not consume — whose wardrobe is a library of dog-eared favourites, each piece a chapter in their story.

The double cross four tuck trousers by Meagratia

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Relaxed tailoring — elegance beyond conventions


We picked the double cross four tuck trousers by Meagratia for their silhouette: relaxed yet refined. The design and fabric make them a versatile piece, equally suited to more formal combinations and relaxed everyday dressing. 

Identity is never quite as fixed as the clothes we are expected to wear. In Orlando, Virginia Woolf plays with gender, time and the conventions through which we define ourselves. Meagratia’s genderless tailoring offers a quieter proposition: a garment need not prescribe who wears it, or when.

The Double Cross Four Tuck Trousers by Meagratia worn with black chunky leather boots — relaxed yet refined tailoring.

The piece


A signature genderless Meagratia silhouette with a distinctive four-pleat front, creating a relaxed yet refined shape. Cut from ‘double cross’ — double-woven fabric — the trousers have a smooth, lightweight feel against the skin and a fluid drape. The wide leg tapers towards the hem, balancing ease with a clean, defined line.

A satin drawstring waist allows for an adjustable fit without a belt, while a front zip secured with two buttons keeps the finish neat. Two side pockets and two rear pockets — one buttoned, the other finished with a subtle patch logo — complete the design.

Ash brown — the colour of stone warmed by the afternoon sun. An understated neutral, grounded yet never flat.

Double-woven fabric made from 100% recycled materials. Made in Japan.

Worn your way


For a city walk: Pair them with a cotton T-shirt or a wool knit and trainers. The pleats add structure, while the relaxed fit keeps the look effortless.

For work: A crisp shirt or a fine-gauge knit creates a sharper silhouette without making it overly formal. Add loafers or lace-ups for a more tailored finish.

For the evening: A minimal top, a tailored jacket and sleek heels bring out the trousers’ dressier side. The fluid fabric does much of the work without the need for elaborate styling.

The Ottanio Set by suite123

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Vintage fabrics, artisanal tailoring, timeless aesthetic — for the people who make clothes part of their story


This is The Ottanio Set by suite123 — a flowing maxi skirt and a relaxed blouse.
In a system that produces tonnes of disposable clothing, we curate: one piece, one story. A radical view for ethical and aesthetic resistance — meaningful garments, an expression of good design. Slow fashion — made to last, made by hand.

Some fabrics wait years before finding the right shape. This set begins long before it was cut and stitched. Its fabric comes from a hidden archive. Across our collection, some pieces are made from vintage fabrics; others from carefully preserved deadstock, all chosen because their quality deserved another future. In fact, they belong to a time when cloth endured — chosen with care, saved with intention, because beauty never expires.

Our mother understood that. A seamstress by profession, an artisan by instinct, she collected fabrics not as leftovers, but as possibilities. Today, those possibilities become garments once again.

There is no brand to celebrate here. No logo. No marketing story. Only craftsmanship. Only fabrics that have already proved their worth. And only one creation that will never exist again.

We cut and sew each set by hand in Milano from archive textiles. Once the fabric ends, the design ends with it.

The Ottanio Set by suite123 — vintage fabric maxi skirt and blouse ensemble. Model in three-quarter studio pose on grey background.

One-of-a-kind: crafted from vintage and deadstock fabrics


The design
Two pieces created to work together — or apart.
A flowing maxi skirt with an elasticated waistband, two side slip pockets and a silhouette that moves naturally with the body. Comfortable enough for everyday life, elegant enough to become something more.
A relaxed blouse with a boat neckline, dropped shoulders and an asymmetric hem that can be worn loose or gently tucked into the skirt. Soft structure. Quiet confidence.

The colour — deep ottanio, somewhere between teal and the sea before a storm — gives the set its calm presence.

The make
Made in Italy. Designed and handcrafted in Milano using carefully preserved vintage and deadstock fabrics. Every piece is unique because every length of fabric is unique. There are no production runs, no replenishments, no identical replacements. When this fabric is gone, the story is complete.

The Ottanio Set: timeless style handcrafted in Milano


Understated elegance, designed to live many lives. Not for trends. Not for occasions. For the people who make clothes part of their story.

How to style

For everyday: wear the blouse with worn-in denim or tailored trousers. The clean lines let the fabric do the talking.

For slow weekends: pair the maxi skirt with a crisp white cotton T-shirt and leather sandals. Simple proportions. Timeless ease.

For dinner: wear the complete set with sculptural jewellery and understated shoes. Elegant without trying to impress.

For travel: pack the blouse and skirt separately. Together they offer the effortless elegance of a dress; apart they multiply your wardrobe without adding weight to your suitcase.

For the modern humans who curate, not consume — whose wardrobe is a library of dog-eared favourites, each piece a chapter in their story.

The Shaded Circles Scarf by Exquisite J

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Play, instinct, circular motion — a wearable canvas for those who wear art, not just fabric


This is The Shaded Circles Scarf by Exquisite J.
In a system that produces tonnes of disposable clothing, we curate: one piece, one story. A radical view for ethical and aesthetic resistance — meaningful garments, an expression of good design. Slow fashion — made to last, made by hand.

The Shaded Circles Scarf arrives with extreme lightness. It drapes like a breath — airy yet present. A 100% linen veil against the skin. The design features an artisanal print where oversized circular motifs are applied by hand, not by machine — each ring bleeding into the next with a stunning dégradé effect, a soft watercolour transition of colour. No two scarves are identical. Fringed hems complete the piece — an invitation to touch.

It honours the creativity of craftsmanship: il gioco — play. The play of circles echoing one another, of colour dissolving into colour, of wearing art instead of hanging it. The play of a morning scarf that becomes an afternoon pareo. And l’istinto — instinct — the only guide that could produce something this spontaneous.

Yellow and pink, with shaded circles in light grey, khaki, mustard, terracotta — colour that deepens and fades across the linen like sunlight through moving water. A yellow of lemon leaves after rain. Of first light on a Tuscan wall. The circles drift like ripples — soft, organic, unrepeatable.

A woman wearing The Shaded Circles Scarf by Exquisite J as a pareo by the pool, paired with The Clay Dye shirt tied at the front, a book in hand — relaxed summer elegance.

Painted by hand: artisanal scarves for modern humans


The design:
Extremely lightweight scarf. 100% linen. Hand-painted shaded-circle print in watercolour dégradé — yellow/multi. Fringed hems on both ends. Dimensions: 200 x 82cm. Each piece is unique.

The make:
Made in Italy — by Exquisite J, a small artisanal brand that oversees every step. Not a label of convenience, but a genuine commitment to craftsmanship. Every detail, from the hand-painted shaded circles to the final fringed edge, is curated with integrity and care. Each piece is one of a kind. No shortcuts. No repeats.

The Shaded Circles Scarf: colour that follows your rhythm


The Shaded Circles Scarf offers something unique: art that adapts. Designed for two lives: on the shoulder and by the sea. From beach to dinner, from morning light to evening glow, it simply works. 

How to style:

For the studio: draped loosely over a cotton T-shirt and straight leg trousers. The colours lift everything around it. The shaded circles catch the light, shifting as you move — each ring a different shade, a different moment. Bare arms, bare feet. A uniform that remembers summer.

For the vernissage: tied high on the neck like a soft ascot. The dégradé circles echo the paintings on the wall — but here, the art breathes. Let it fall asymmetrically on a silk top. The fringe catches the gallery air.

For the beach: worn as a pareo over a black or coloured swimsuit. The length wraps comfortably. Tie at the hip. Walk. The linen dries in minutes. The colour stays — the circles shimmer and fade like reflections on water.

For a special dinner: knotted loosely over a silk red dress. The shaded circles become the only jewellery you need. Instinct over effort. Flow over form.

For the modern humans who curate, not consume — whose wardrobe is a library of dog-eared favourites, each piece a chapter in their story.
