The Motherland Top is part of the matching set with the Motherland Skirt but can also be worn standalone with any type of outfit.
We named this Motherland as an ode to our Motherland, Ireland, whom received her name from the Goddess Ériu, our company’s namesake. As she is the Goddess of fertility, abundance and sovereignty we decorated this design with the gifts from the land, encapsulating symmetry, flow, elegance and the suggestions of the wheat sheafs that grow abundantly across our landscape.
We believe this suits every body shape, and look forward to seeing what colour you choose to knit this with!

Sizes: S/M/L/XL
