Ok, we all know stripes came from the navy. (or maybe not all of us do?) but either way, it’s an iconic motif that’s become a wardrobe staple. As I was getting to know my Breton Top from Les Sublimes, I did some research to …
My journey to this top was a long and weird one, but here I am. In my fast fashion days, I’d been buying and buying different striped tops to try and find the perfect one – and never did. I was left with a half …
