The Arles Top is a relaxed and romantic blouse inspired by the warm, sun-soaked charm of Arles–a southern French town made famous by Vincent Van Gogh. Arles is incredibly special to me as it is the principal destination of my dream trip with my mom. She has always loved Van Gogh, especially his works from Arles, and her entire life she has dreamed of visiting this charming city.
Designed to feel as whimsical as a tranquil afternoon in Provence, the Arles Top features a softly rounded collar that adds a gentle yet sweet touch to the blouse. Additionally, the gathered details above the bust and at the back yoke give the top a feminine shape, while the overall fit remains effortless across all sizes.
The optional front-tie waist and back elastic channel help create an even softer silhouette with hints of casual charm, making the Arles perfect for multiple vacation outfits, or for simply feeling extra lovely at home. And just like the best holidays, the Arles Top does not demand attention, and instead is ready to create unforgettable memories of halcyon days.
View A includes a front tie and back elastic for an adjustable fit and playful finish.
View B features a no-collar design for a crisp, minimalist look that pairs effortlessly with any bottoms.
As a bonus, the collar is compatible with the Roma Top, offering even more options for you to mix, match, and personalize your look.
Whether you’re imagining foreign cobblestone streets or mornings at the office, the Arles Top fits in beautifully everywhere, bringing a touch of radiance and tenderness to everyday wear.
The Arles Top works best with lightweight woven fabrics that offer soft structure and gentle drape. Since the design includes delicate gathers and a casual, easy silhouette, choosing fabrics that move well without adding bulk will help maintain its breezy charm.
SUGGESTED FABRIC
Lightweight linen or washed linen for a fresh, naturally textured look
Double gauze to highlight the top’s relaxed feel with soft volume
Rayon, viscose, or Tencel for a fluid and slightly dressier version
Light chambray to give a casual, travel-ready vibe
The Arles Top pairs beautifully with solids, micro florals, classic stripes, or yarn-dyed gingham—especially patterns that feel sweet, soft, and sun-ready.
PREPARATION
Pre-wash and dry all your fabrics as this will prevent your garment from shrinking. We recommend you read the instructions thoroughly before sewing.
