Kinsley makes an entrance before you've said a word.

The Kinsley is a kaftan-style shirt made from 70% rayon and 30% linen, in white. It has a mandarin collar and five frog fastenings down the front, with 3/4 sleeves and a loose, boxy silhouette. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

The frog fastenings are the whole story here, five of them, evenly spaced down the front, each one a small ritual rather than a shortcut. The mandarin collar keeps the neckline clean and considered, while the loose, kaftan-inspired shape leaves room to move.

Wear it loose over the Parker in the same fabric for a matching set, or let it stand on its own over anything you already reach for.

FAQ 

Does the Kinsley run true to size, and which size should I take?
The Kinsley has a relaxed, kaftan-style fit, so it's forgiving through sizing. Our model is 170cm and wears a size 32. Take your usual Signature by Des size.

What fabric is it made from and how does it wear?
The Kinsley is made from a 70% rayon, 30% linen blend. It has a soft, fluid drape suited to the loose kaftan shape, and softens further with wear and washing.

How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash only. This keeps the rayon-linen blend looking sharp over time, and protects the red thread detail at the final fastening.

What can I wear it with?
Pair the Kinsley with the Parker in the same fabric for a matching, considered look, or wear it over anything you already own.

Where is it made and how many were produced?
The Kinsley is made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, as part of a limited run.
