A small note on colour. The shirts on this page are shown through a mix of studio photography and digital renders — faithful to the cloth, but a screen is never quite the loom. Expect a small shift in tone in person.

Deep Aubergine
A deep, considered aubergine in pure Italian cotton sateen — the colour of brinjal skin in late evening light, with a soft natural sheen across the cloth. Solid throughout, no pattern, no decoration. The depth comes from the cotton itself: a sateen weave with longer floats that catches light gently, giving the surface a quiet polish without ever turning glossy.
This is a colour for the days when you want presence without performance — deeper than a navy, warmer than a black, more interesting than either. The 100% cotton holds the aubergine saturated and the sheen soft, washing after washing. Built for evenings, dinners, considered office days, and the kind of occasion where a confident dark shirt does more than a plain white one.
