Brooke keeps it simple, and the check does the talking.

The Brooke is a pink gingham top made from 100% cotton poplin, in a red and pink check. It's sleeveless, with a round neckline and a button-through front, and it has a relaxed, boxy fit that finishes at the waist with a straight hem. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

A clean, easy shape, with nothing fussy and nothing you need to think about. The round neckline and button front keep it crisp, and the boxy cut skims the body so it's cool on hot days. It finishes right at the waist, so it sits neatly over a high-waisted skirt or pants.

Wear it with the Riley skirt in the same check for a full set, or break it up with the Stella balloon pants or the Parker barrel pants in denim.

FAQ

Does the Brooke run true to size, and which size should I take?
The Brooke has a relaxed, boxy fit that sits easily over the body without clinging. It finishes just at the waist, so it works over high-waisted skirts and pants. Our model is 1.70m and wears a size 32. Take your usual Signature by Des size.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
The Brooke is made from 100% cotton poplin in a red and pink check. Poplin is crisp, smooth and lightweight, so it breathes well in warm weather and keeps the top's clean, boxy shape. It softens nicely with every wear and wash.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only, and wash dark colours separately. We suggest washing by hand to ensure the longevity of your garment, because a lot of care went into making it. Treated gently, the Brooke will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.

What can I wear the pink gingham top with?
Wear the pink gingham top with the Riley skirt in the same check for a full matching set. For something more casual, pair it with the Stella balloon pants or the Parker barrel pants in denim. Add flat shoes and statement earrings.

Where is it made?
The Brooke is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team. Like every Signature by Des style, it's produced in a limited run, so once the red and pink check is gone, it's gone. Free delivery applies on orders over R1500.
