Knit in organic linen, Kestrel, Lulu is created in two separate pieces - front and back - cuff to cuff, sideways. Both pieces are joined at the side seams, and keyhole spaces are intentionally left open at each shoulder. The airy openwork pattern flows throughout the body, while the ribbed hem is slightly tailored by the addition of an icord drawstring. With its distinctive construction and meticulous attention to detail, Lulu effortlessly embodies grace, elegance and a timeless quality.
