The instructions are in English and French.
Meet Elva, a shirt with timeless charm that perfectly blends comfort and elegance. With its relaxed fit and slightly dropped shoulders, it offers a casual yet modern vibe. Its subtly wide collar adds a refined vintage touch, ideal for those who love to mix classic and contemporary styles.
Elva comes in two versions to suit all your preferences. You can opt for flap pockets adorned with box pleats, adding a sophisticated detail, or choose the more discreet and streamlined patch pocket. As for the sleeves, they finish with a fancy cuff for a touch of originality. The whole look is enhanced by elegantly designed sleeve vents with a topstitched facing.
