Some pieces have a life before they become yours. This vest began as a set of vintage linen towels sourced in Italy — each one edged with a tassel trim and monogrammed with the initials VZ. Someone, somewhere, had these made or gifted especially. They travelled from Italy to a small studio in east Berlin where they were cut and sewn by hand into this wonderful vest. The monogram is the piece's signature — a detail that raises questions and tells a story without saying a word. The tassel trim edges the vest with a gentle movement that catches the eye beautifully. The boxy silhouette and tie front make it as easy to wear as it is to admire. Wear it over a simple white linen shirt for a layered look. Style it with wide-leg trousers and sandals for a warm afternoon. Layer it over a slip dress for an evening that deserves something special. Made from a set of rescued monogrammed linens.   Size : S Boxy silhouette Sleeveless Tie front Vintage linen towels with tassel trim Fabric sourced in Italy.
