Green Tea by way of Italy

Relax in this layering duster, with vintage Italian hibiscus tea towel pockets over a matcha floral print. 

It’s early morning, before the world quite wakes. The garden is still whispering in dew and birdsong. She steps out barefoot, arms wrapped in sun-soft linen, the scent of damp roses rising around her. This is Green Tea by Way of Italy — a gentle nod to Tuscan markets and mossy teacups, with hibiscus-hued patch pockets cut from vintage Italian tea towels, stitched over a soft, matcha-toned floral that feels equal parts greenhouse and heirloom china.

Made for tending roses in the hush of daybreak, brushing soil from your fingers, and warming your hands around that first perfect cup. Lightweight and breathable, with just enough drape to flutter as you walk the garden paths.

Other lives she’s lived:
• On a hillside in Liguria, layered over a cotton slip while gathering sage and lemon balm for steeping.
• Worn by a florist on her back porch in Ojai, notebook in one pocket, garden shears in the other.
• Spotted on a ceramicist in Kyoto, sleeves rolled up and speckled with clay, chamomile steaming by her wheel.

Boxy fit with wide sleeves, mid-thigh length. Tea towel pockets hold seed packets, garden gloves, or a lemon snuck from the neighbor’s tree. Enough tea towel and gorgeous soft matcha green tea towel left for a customized piece of your own, from our upcyled archive!

One size. Best paired with birdsong, a linen napkin, and a little time to yourself.
