Tie-stitch tank top
Our finely openwork tank top in 100% fine organic cotton is a historic technical underwear. The so-called "Marcel" tank top was invented by workers at Les Halles de Paris, a wholesale food market in the mid-19th century. These physically imposing handlers decided to cut the sleeves off their wool sweaters to give them more freedom of arm movement, while protecting their lower backs from drafts. Like a second skin, it is ideal for protection from the cold, being almost form-fitting, it retains heat in winter and moisture in summer and allows the shirt to sit perfectly on the body: Wrinkles are avoided, the fit is ideal and the look is refined.
This unisex product fits close to the body, so feel free to order one size larger. One color: Ecru, the original, undyed color.
