INVER

when time was shaped by you and me
we lived beside an estuary
where the air felt crisper
and pine trees whispered
those whispers drifting out to sea

…….

With its rustic texture and relaxed silhouette, Inver is a fisherman’s henley with intriguing details that will captivate from start to finish.

The fit of the Bodice adjusts with the help of buttons placed at the sides of the split hem.

An alternative polo neck/ sailor collar option transforms this top into a hardy winter garment with an element of nautical glamour.

Inver is the anglicised spelling of inbhir, which means estuary in Irish Gaelic.
