Shirt with a mandarin collar, crafted from ramie. The Jules top has three-quarter length sleeves and matching corozo buttons on the front. The back is slightly longer.
Ramie is one of the oldest and strongest natural fibers, and has been used for thousands of years. It is known for its ability to maintain shape and for its silky sheen. It is a sustainable fabric as it requires less water and pesticides than other textile crops, grows quickly, and yields a high production per hectare, thus minimizing its environmental impact. Additionally, it is a biodegradable and recyclable fabric.
The ramie fibers in Cortana's collections are woven by traditional methods. This can create slight variations in yarn thickness across different garments. These subtle differences contribute to the distinct charm of our designs, and these characteristics are an integral part of the artisanal quality of natural fibers and yarns.
