Mandarin Collar Top - French Knot Floral in Ivory

Hand-stitched. Hand-dyed. Made in Rajasthan. The top that tells a story.

The Emerson Fry Mandarin Collar Top in French Knot Floral Ivory is the kind of piece that gets better the closer you look. A relaxed, oversized button-front shirt in cotton flax with a mandarin collar, hand-dyed in a clean, luminous ivory using low-impact dye, and covered in hand-stitched French knot floral embroidery made by artisans in Rajasthan, India. One size, with a generous 56" bust and 23" center back length that drapes beautifully on every body. The ivory colorway gives the French knot embroidery a soft, ethereal quality — this is slow fashion at its most beautiful.

Why she'll love it

The French knot embroidery is the detail that makes this top genuinely extraordinary — each knot is hand-stitched individually, which means no two tops are exactly alike. The floral pattern has a dimensional, tactile quality that printed fabric simply cannot replicate. In ivory, the embroidery has a soft, tonal quality that's both delicate and striking — it reads as effortlessly elegant in a way that a printed top never does. The cotton flax blend has a natural, breathable hand that gets softer with every wash, and the mandarin collar gives it a refined, considered silhouette.

Fit & Feel

Cotton Flax. Hand-stitched French knot floral embroidery. Button front. Mandarin collar. Hand-dyed with low-impact dye. One size. Bust: 56". Center back length: 23". Hand wash, line dry. Made in Rajasthan, India by Emerson Fry.

What makes it different

Emerson Fry works with artisans in Rajasthan, India to create garments that are genuinely handmade — hand-dyed, hand-stitched, and made with low-impact dye processes that minimize environmental impact. The French knot embroidery technique is a traditional craft that requires exceptional skill and time — this is not embroidery that can be replicated by machine. The ivory colorway is the most versatile of the French Knot collection — it pairs with everything and photographs beautifully. Also available in Vintage Chestnut.

How to wear it

Wear open over a camisole or bralette for a relaxed, layered look. Or button fully for a clean, polished silhouette. The generous one-size fit works beautifully tucked into wide-leg trousers or worn loose over slim jeans. The ivory colorway pairs beautifully with white, cream, and soft neutrals for a tonal look, or with warm earth tones and denim for contrast.

Care

Hand wash cold. Line dry. Handle with care to preserve the hand-stitched embroidery and hand-dyed color.
