Nasma Shirt

Nasma

(نسمة — "a soft breeze." The kind that arrives just before golden hour, when the heat finally loosens its grip on the day.)

How to Wear Her

Alone with wide-leg trousers, buttoned to the top for dinner. Open over a plain white tee and denim on an ordinary Tuesday. Tucked loosely, hem left asymmetric, with nothing else competing for attention because at that point, nothing needs to.

The Story

Every collection needs one piece that isn't really about the season it launched in, it's about the woman who reaches for it long after that season ends. Nasma is that piece.

It started as a sketch of a waistcoat worn open over bare shoulders on a boat deck, the kind of garment that looks like it was pulled from someone's closet rather than a rack. Structured enough to hold its shape through a long dinner. Soft enough to fold into a bag on the walk home. The pinstripe came second, a quiet nod to tailoring, to the idea that a woman doesn't need to choose between polished and easy. The buttons came last, and they're the part we're proudest of: four small objects, each one already part of this house's language before the shirt existed at all.

Nasma isn't loud. It doesn't ask to be noticed. It's the top you put on when you already know you look right, and you're just confirming it in the mirror on your way out the door.

The Fabric

A premium cotton-linen blend, woven specifically to hold structure through the shoulders and princess seams while staying soft against skin — no stiffness, no synthetic sheen. The fine white pinstripe is woven into the fabric itself, not printed, so it won't fade, crack, or shift with wear.

Built for repeat wear, not a single season: this fabric is tested to hold its color, shape, and integrity through 300+ home washes without losing its structure or the crispness of the pinstripe. This is a piece meant to be lived in for years, not retired after a summer.

The Fit

Fitted through the bodice and waist via vertical princess seams, with a round collarless neckline and two welted hip pockets. Sleeveless, single-breasted, cut to sit close without restricting movement, you should be able to reach, sit, and breathe without adjusting anything.

Size Guide

All measurements are of the garment itself (not body measurements). We recommend choosing your size based on your bust measurement.

Between sizes? We recommend sizing up for a more relaxed drape, or sizing down if you prefer a closer fit through the waist.

The Hardware

Four buttons, each drawn from something already true about this house:

• Pearl — soft, first impression, closest to the collarbone
• Gold Sunburst — warmth, already living in this season's brooch
• Gold Leaf — organic, hand-finished, never machine-stamped
• Nefertiti — carved gold profile, the one detail that turns a shirt into a signature

Each piece is intentionally slightly different from the next, the way hardware feels when it's touched by hand rather than stamped identically at scale.

Color

Deep oxblood burgundy with a fine ivory pinstripe, the house's signature color, usually reserved for accents, given permission here to lead.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle. Line dry when possible. Cool iron only if needed, avoiding direct contact with the hardware. Built to be worn often, this isn't a piece you baby.

Nasma. Made to survive the wash, the wear, and the woman who refuses to take it off.
