Vintage patch shirt - Size S/M

Description:

Celebrate iconic Australian heritage and heirloom handwork with this extraordinary, upcycled vintage top.

 Masterfully crafted from an antique linen tablecloth, this sleeveless garment features intricate hand-embroidered illustrations inspired by the Australian Coat of Arms, including kangaroos, heraldic lions, crowns, and native floral sprigs in pink, red, green, and gold.

Tailored in a relaxed, cropped vest silhouette, the top features an oversized pointed collar detailed with animal embroidery, fluttery wide crochet lace trim along the cap armholes, and two dainty front tie closures along a lace-bordered placket. The back panel showcases a sweeping lower-hem border of embroidered florals, kangaroos, and heraldic crests.

Perfect worn as a standalone top or layered open over a slip dress or cami, this piece is a rare collectors' item that honors vintage textile art.
