Same easy shape, new stripe. Harlow in blue and white, ready for the days that call for linen.

The Harlow is a shirt dress in a blue and white stripe, made from 55% linen and 45% cotton. It has a structured collar, a full button stand, and gathered puff sleeves finished with elasticated cuffs. A self-tie belt with a woven buckle sits at the waist, worn on or off. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The linen and cotton blend gives this stripe a lighter hand than the denim Harlow, with more movement through the skirt, while the collar and button stand keep the shape structured up top.

Take the belt off and it falls loose through the body. Tie it and the waist comes back in. Both are correct, depending on the day you're having.

The last button carries the red thread that's marked every Signature by Des garment since the first collection. It has pockets.

FAQ

Does the Harlow run true to size, and which size should I take?
The Harlow runs true to size. Our model is 1.70m and wears a size 32. Sizes run from 32 to 40, so take your usual Signature by Des size for a comfortable, accurate fit.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
This Harlow is made from a 55% linen, 45% cotton blend. It has a lighter, more relaxed drape than the denim colourway, and softens further with wear and washing.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only. This protects the linen-cotton blend, the button stand, and the red thread detail at the final button.

What can I wear it with?
Wear the self-tie belt in for a defined waist, or leave it off for a looser, straight-through shape. Both are part of the design, not an afterthought.
