Adult Stripes

A sophisticated stripe for adults. This striped piece from Vlas Blomme elegantly incorporates the light rhythm inherent in stripes while maintaining a refined subtlety. The stripe pattern brightens the complexion and seamlessly fits into a wide range of outfits without being swayed by trends. When layering with outerwear or cardigans, it transforms a simple monochrome inner layer into a lively ensemble, making it a reliable item in your wardrobe. We also offer a striped wide T-shirt made from the same fabric.

Material and Craftsmanship: A Thoughtfully Designed Piece

What sets this chic adult stripe apart from typical marine stripes is its linen construction and the dyeing and color combination. This color is achieved through a technique called "chūhaku dyeing," where only the surface of the yarn is dyed, leaving the core white. Unlike uniformly dyed fabrics, this results in a melange (heathered) texture with subtle variations in color from yarn to yarn. Despite being new, it has a depth reminiscent of vintage hues, which is characteristic of Vlas Blomme.

The neckline is balanced—not too wide and not too tight—providing a fresh look around the face. Whether worn simply on its own or layered as an inner piece, the stripe stands out beautifully at the neckline. Being long-sleeved, it also allows for stylish visibility at the cuffs. You can elevate your styling by casually draping it over your shoulders, and it’s versatile enough to enjoy in various arrangements throughout the seasons.

The fabric is made from Belgian linen. While the feel of linen can vary depending on the type and processing, this high-quality linen is made from flax sourced from Belgium, specifically from the region of Flanders. Its fibers are fine and uniform, resulting in a softer and more supple texture compared to typical linen. With excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, it remains comfortable against the skin without stickiness, making it a delightful choice for warmer weather. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy both style and comfort in their everyday lives.

Using the Finest Materials

Vlas Blomme was established in 2007. The brand name means "linen flower" in Flemish, the language of the Flanders region in Belgium, where the linen industry has thrived for centuries. The brand offers natural yet fashionable clothing made from linen sourced from Kortrijk, Belgium. Kortrijk linen refers to the finest flax yarn harvested from the best crops of the year, cultivated on the farm of the Belgian linen spinning mill JOS VANNESTE. Thanks to years of expertise, Kortrijk linen maintains its quality, showcasing a rustic appearance as a natural fiber that is both durable and lustrous. Recognized as a top-quality linen in Europe, Kortrijk linen is also a key ingredient in Irish linen.
