BEACH ESSENTIALS : Our FAI LINEN BUCKET HAT paired with the TIE RIB KNIT TANK ☀️

The FAI hat is your new shore-side bestie. 100% linen, chunky-knit, with a flippy half-cardigan brim that gives flare. Breathable, biodegradable, &beach-bag-ready.

The TIE RIB TANK is that girl. Organic cotton grown in Texas, spun in North Carolina, knit into a fine 1x1 rib right here in NYC. Traceable from seed to stitch, and shaped to hug in all the right places.

Both made-to-order in our NYC atelier because slow is the new luxury. Allow 1-2 weeks for your pieces to be knit with love 🌊

FAI OCTOPI T-SHIRT : made from 100% Organic Cotton - with contrast whipstitching, she’s a fan favorite.

Our customers have told us over and over again - ‘It’s so comfy I never take it off.’ 

‘It’s perfect and besides I’ve been wearing it for almost a week straight now, slept in and everything (I didn’t get out much this week) 😬’

‘I couldn’t help but sleep in it, it’s so comfy!’

While we recommend washing it every other wear - do as you please!!

UNISEX Sizing:
- Women Size down from your traditional size or buy true to size if you enjoy an oversize fit.
-Men buy true to your size, or size up for an oversize fit.
