Inspired by a wildflower meadow walk, Handpicked is a top-down Tee featuring decorative drop-stitch flowers sprinkled into a stockinette base. The organic motifs are further emphasised with beads which are added to the centre of the flowers for added colour, decoration, and dimension. Both relaxing and engaging, Handpicked is the perfect garment to celebrate Summer in bloom.
