Marlowe | Zipper-Front Puff Sleeve Set

There's a particular kind of confidence that comes from knowing your outfit is doing its job before you've walked through the door. The Marlowe is that outfit. An ivory linen top with gathered puff sleeves that taper to an elasticated cuff — feminine without being fussy. A gold zip closure at the centre front that replaces every button you've ever struggled with. Below: full-length wide-leg pants with a drawstring waist in the same ivory linen, falling clean and uninterrupted to the floor. Together they read as a set that cost more than it did and required more effort than it took.

"The gold zip on the Marlowe is the detail I keep coming back to. It's functional — you can open it as much or as little as you want — but it also reads as intentional jewellery on the top. Pair it with gold earrings and you're done. That's the kind of shortcut I look for in a piece." — Sarah Mitchell, Founder of Valora New York

✔ Gold Centre-Front Zip — a full-length zipper with a gold pull that doubles as a neckline detail. Adjustable open or closed, from conservative to just enough.

✔ Gathered Puff Sleeves — voluminous through the upper arm with a gathered elasticated cuff at the elbow. The sleeve that adds shape to a relaxed silhouette without weighing it down.

✔ Elasticated Hem Band — a gentle cinch at the bottom of the top that defines the waist and keeps the top from overwhelming the pants. The detail that creates proportion in an otherwise relaxed set.

✔ Drawstring Wide-Leg Pants — full-length with a linen tie waist that adjusts to you. Clean through the leg, fluid at the hem, with enough volume to feel effortless and enough structure to look deliberate.

✔ Ivory Linen-Look Fabric — breathable and lightweight with a soft texture. The colour that works with gold jewellery, tan sandals, a straw bag, or absolutely nothing added at all.

✔ Matching Top and Pant — cut from the same ivory fabric so the set coordinates completely. No styling decisions required — everything is already handled.

Gold zip. Puff sleeve. The ivory set that looks like a whole outfit plan executed perfectly.
