Crop Top in Tulipano

A versatile shape with a beautiful hand block printed pattern featuring a tiny, slightly irregular checker pattern. The Crop Top in Mosaic has short sleeves, a scooped neck, a boxy fit that allows lots of movement and ease, and a cropped length.

The Tulipano print makes a bold visual statement with its playful pattern. The tulip, a positive symbol of new plant life, is carved into a wood block and is hand-printed onto a soft, lightweight silk/cotton blend textile.
