Perfect Spring shirt!
Love the feel of the cotton. Will be a staple this Spring for sure.

Beautiful!
So soft and well made! Love that it is still made in France! Discrete luxury is the best!

Love My Galathee!
I tried to buy this top from a St James shop in Paris, but it was out of stock in my size. I was so thrilled to be able to buy online -back in the USA! This is such a perfect Breton top, and I just love the fabric and 3/4 sleeve! The online ordering and delivery experience was fantastic, too! Thank you!
