Keep it long, treasure it long.

Add a refreshing depth to your usual attire.

Spring and summer outfits tend to become monotonous, often relying on just a simple T-shirt. During such seasons, a high-quality summer knit can elevate your usual coordination to a more sophisticated impression. The Linen Crew Neck Knit Vest from C.T.plage is an item that, despite being called a vest, can be beautifully worn as a sleeveless top on its own, making it a perfect choice for adult casual wear.

Comfortable Linen Against the Skin and a Thoughtful Silhouette

Made from linen that has excellent breathability and a good drape, this vest keeps you comfortable and fresh even when worn directly against the skin during sweaty seasons. The clean crew neck, which is not too revealing, along with a moderately relaxed fit, provides a sense of security when worn alone. The exquisite balance of not clinging too tightly to the body's lines while avoiding a loose appearance creates an elegant atmosphere amidst a relaxed vibe.

Its versatility is another major charm that makes the time spent coordinating outfits enjoyable. During hot weather, simply wearing it on its own and pairing it with wide pants that have a nice drape or a flowing linen skirt creates a chic look that exudes a sense of adult sophistication. With its sleek silhouette, it pairs wonderfully with masculine slacks or casual denim. On slightly chilly days or when the sun is strong, layering it with a linen shirt or a lightweight cardigan is also recommended. The fit around the arms remains neat, making it a versatile piece that can be worn from early spring to autumn.

Available in three colors—soft BEIGE that showcases a natural texture, deep G.BROWN that gives a calm impression, and NB.NAVY that adds an intellectual touch to the overall look—each color is basic and blends seamlessly with your existing wardrobe. The Linen Crew Neck Knit Vest from C.T.plage is a timeless piece that you will want to cherish and wear for a long time, free from the constraints of fashion trends. Enjoy the stylishness of high-quality knits that feel great against the skin during the refreshing seasons.

A Japanese Knit Brand with Fans in Europe

C.T.plage, which started in 2007, is a knitwear brand that embodies the concept of "knits that are casual yet have a presence." Within its simple designs that are easy to wear daily, it adds unique nuances to the silhouettes. The brand is committed to ensuring that its knits are as easy to care for as possible, often designed to be hand-washable, resulting in exceptionally soft fabrics. The meticulous attention to detail reflective of Japanese women is gaining a solid fan base even in Europe, where many established knit brands compete.

Designers Naomi Suwa and Mikako Kanaya have both been involved in planning within the Japanese knit industry for many years. "When I wanted to work on shaping the garments themselves, becoming a knit designer allowed me to choose materials and yarns for planning. I find it incredibly enjoyable to see a person's thoughts reflected in the product throughout the process from a single strand of yarn to the final product. Even an apparently ordinary shape can be transformed with a shift in consciousness and perspective, which is the essence of knit planning. Touching on the wearability and comfort that engage the wearer's senses is one of the greatest joys of being a designer," they shared.

The two designers pursue not only the aesthetics of design but also the essence of the products, engaging in a wide range of tasks including developing patterns that leverage the characteristics of materials, production processes, and original material development, all while achieving designs that are simple yet incredibly comfortable to wear.
