Darcy is the shirt for when a plain one won't do. The frill does the work, the check does the rest.

The Darcy is a frill shirt made from 100% viscose, in an orange check, with a relaxed fit. A single frill runs around the neck and back down the hidden button stand, shaping the V-neckline as it goes. The three-quarter sleeves are gathered at the shoulder and again into a buttoned cuff, and the hem is curved. The last button carries the signature red thread. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The frill is what gives the Darcy its shape. It traces the neck into a V and carries straight on down the button stand, so the shirt looks finished even worn loose. The viscose keeps it soft and fluid, so the volume in the sleeves falls rather than stands out.

Wear it with the Stella Balloon Pants in denim, as shot, or with any wide-leg trouser you already reach for.

FAQ

Does the Darcy check frill shirt run true to size?
Yes. The Darcy has a relaxed fit, so take your usual Signature by Des size. The volume sits in the sleeves rather than the body. Our model is 170cm and wears a size 32.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
The Darcy is made from 100% viscose, the same fabric as the orange check Sutton. It's soft against the skin, drapes rather than holds stiff, and moves with you, which keeps the frill and sleeves falling softly.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only. This keeps the viscose, the frill trim, and the red thread detail in good condition over time.

What can I wear it with?
Style the Darcy with the Stella Balloon Pants in denim, as shot, or wear it loose over any wide-leg trouser. The orange check works easily with blue denim, tan and white.

Where is it made?
The Darcy is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, as part of a limited run.
