Romana Top in Tulipano

The Romana Top in PO-EM's 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.

Pair with the matching Tulipano Lounger Pants for a cozy set, or pair with your favorite black jeans and a delicate chain for a dressier look. The rounded high-low hem looks great tucked in or untucked.

I love this top tucked into Sara Bergman's Bergie Jeans and paired with a Baleen Clove Necklace (pictured on mannequin).

PO-EM textiles arrive minimally treated and will soften considerably with washing and wear. It is recommended to wash the garment prior to wearing.

Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean. Do not spot clean as many spot cleaning treatments react with natural dyes and will cause uneven dye intensity. It's better to soak the entire item in a gentle stain remover after testing in an inconspicuous area.

PO-EM uses textiles that are hand-spun and handwoven from natural fibers. Natural dyes are used for color. Traditional methods of artisan design are utilized such as block printing, weaving and resist-dying. Textile works are proudly made in partnership with established cooperatives and workshops in India, Guatemala and Mexico.

All PO-EM pieces are designed by artist and designer Carla Venticinque-Osborn. Carla is a first generation American, with a mother from Colombia and a father from Sicily/Argentina. These cultural roots often influence the subject matter of her designs. Carla founded textile & art studio PO-EM in 2016 as a way to bridge her designs with heritage production techniques and traditions, working to both celebrate and support handmade industries and also to offer a poetic connection to sustainable goods.
