Same Macy, turned all the way up.

The Macy is a pintuck sleeve shirt made from 100% cotton voile, in chartreuse. It has a round neck, dropped shoulders and short sleeves finished with a band of pintucks, with a relaxed, boxy shape and a deep hem band. It pulls on over the head and closes with a single button keyhole at the back. It's made in Cape Town, South Africa, by a small all-female team, in a limited run.

In chartreuse, the details come forward. Tonal topstitching traces the neckline, the hem and every pintuck on the sleeve, so the shirt looks finished even though the body stays clean and simple. The voile keeps it light and cool, and the boxy cut means it never clings.

Wear it with wide-leg denim and a striped basket bag, as shot, or with white trousers for something crisper.

FAQ

Does the Macy run true to size?
The Macy has a relaxed, boxy fit that skims the body rather than clinging, with dropped shoulders and roomy short sleeves. It sits just below the waist, so it works loose over trousers or skirts. 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 Macy is made from 100% cotton voile, a fine, lightweight cotton with a soft finish. It's light and breathable on the hottest days, and crisp enough to hold the pintucks on the sleeves. The chartreuse is rich and even, with tonal stitching that picks out every tuck.

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 Macy will hold its colour and shape season after season, ready whenever you want it.

What can I wear the pintuck sleeve shirt with?
We styled the Macy with wide-leg denim, a striped raffia basket and a stack of bangles, letting the chartreuse lead. It works just as well with white trousers, tan linen or a printed skirt. Orange, coral and tan accessories make the colour sing.

Where is it made?
The Macy 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 chartreuse is gone, it's gone. Free delivery applies on orders over R1500.
