About Phecda
Like its star, this design plays on luminous simplicity and just the right touch.
Knitted in Antigone by De Rerum Natura, a lively, luminous linen, Phecda is a sleeveless top designed for sunny days. The yarn reveals its full character row after row: a slightly irregular texture, a natural drape and a freshness that is perfect for summer. With time and washing, the linen softens and grows gentler, making this design a piece you love to wear again and again.
Its construction showcases the fiber without constraining it, letting both yarn and gesture breathe. Phecda is a peaceful, almost meditative knit that invites you to slow down and savor the simple pleasure of making.
Designed as a discreet star of the summer wardrobe, Phecda accompanies bright days with elegance and ease.
