Product Insights
MARNI's Layered Effect Stripes T-Shirt revives a trompe-l'oeil technique from the early 2000s archive, printing a layered effect of mannish stripes and soft pink floral on a single layer of cotton-linen jersey to literalize the 'combine incompatible' manifesto. The 65% linen, 35% cotton blend ensures crisp print definition and a slubby hand, while providing cooling and moisture-wicking benefits (feels 3–4°C cooler and stays drier than pure cotton) and better abrasion resistance at stress points. Made in Portugal under EU regulations, the T-shirt softens with each cold machine wash without losing structural integrity. Its relaxed, slightly oversized fit suggests sizing down for a closer fit. Currently out of stock at $750 CAD.
