Ivory Linen Set — Ivory × Black Bogolan mudcloth, worn front view$540

Ivory Linen Set

Ivory × Black Bogolan mudcloth

The opening look of the line: undyed European linen kept pale so the mudcloth reads as drawing rather than decoration.

Mandarin collar, half placket, curved shirt-tail hem over double-pleated wide-leg trousers.

Black-and-white mudcloth at cuff, placket edge and deep trouser hem.

$540

Embroidery notes

  • Gold diamond Z worked top-left of the chest, roughly 480 hand-guided stitches.
  • Placket edging in two-ply gold thread, couched so it sits proud of the weave.
  • Bogolan mudcloth bands cut to loom width so the motif count stays whole across the hem.

Fabric care

  • Cold hand wash or 30°C gentle machine cycle, garment bag on.
  • Never bleach — chlorine lifts the fermented mud pigment out of the Bogolan mudcloth.
  • Line dry in shade; direct sun yellows undyed linen.
  • Press on the reverse at linen heat, avoiding the embroidered Z.

  • The tunic is cut with 12 cm of ease at the bust — it should skim, never pull across the placket.
  • Trousers sit at the natural waist with a wide leg; between two sizes, take the smaller for the waist and have the hem shortened.
  • Inseam is finished at 76–82 cm by size. Free hemming to your exact length is included with every set.
  • Heavyweight linen relaxes roughly half a size after the third wash; the Bogolan mudcloth bands do not shrink.
  • Petite under 160 cm: ask for the short-rise trouser block at checkout. Tall over 180 cm: the long block adds 6 cm.
