Product Insights

The Michelle Painted Shapes Pure Linen Shirt emerges from a years-long friendship between ALEMAIS and artist Laurence Leenaert, translating her hand-painted studies into a unique garment with a Marrakech-inspired, sun-faded palette. Each shirt is singular due to random pattern cutting and a hidden side zip that preserves the print's flow while offering a clean silhouette. Made from 100% European linen sourced from Fair Trade or social-enterprise partners, the fabric's hollow flax fibers wick moisture and soften with each wash, deepening a natural patina. The main tradeoff is the lightweight linen's slight sheerness, recommending a camisole underneath, and a boxy fit that can be tightened by sizing down, though the intended loose cocooning fit is achieved in size 8.

Verified claims

Palette inspired by Marrakech’s sun-faded tones.

Print based on handmade studies after Marrakech immersion.
Material
100% European linen from Fair Trade or social-enterprise partners.

Design story
Artist's handmade studies, Marrakech colors, amplified cut with hidden zip.
Sizing
Size 8 gives the intended loose, cocooning fit; size 6 yields a closer but still relaxed fit.

The all-over print is cut randomly, so placement varies per shirt.
Pattern uniqueness
Every Michelle shirt is unique due to random pattern cut, hand-painted origin, and intentional flattering design.
Provenance
The shirt originates from the ALÉMAIS x LRNCE collaboration, with a Marrakech-inspired palette, and debuted in the brand's first on-location show in Marrakech.
Side zip
Hidden side zip prevents gaping and preserves pattern flow for a clean silhouette.

Hollow flax fibers wick moisture and keep the wearer cool

Print originality
Handmade studies inform the print; random cutting makes each shirt unique.
