The Italian linen used for most of these prints is absolutely phenomenal with an excellent soft hand and heft that gives it truly a feeling of old fashioned quality. A truly seasonless garment.

The Print
Westbeth is named after the famed cooperative housing project developed in the 1960s as affordable homes for artists in the far West Village of Lower Manhattan. The print is a tongue and cheek take on the authentic “artist’s mark.”
Brush stroke gestures are repeated at a suboptimal resolution so the viewer can clearly see they were manufactured rather than handmade. The print looks a little messy and broken apart—like out of a 80s post-punk zine. We updated the print for 2024 using a much deeper and richer black than the original print.
The form
The Margrethe dress; artist smock meets shirt dress. With classic menswear details and an easy one piece body, this dress has become a favorite for us. The printed Italian linen is substantial yet completely breathable so it can be worn year round. Roll up the sleeves for the summer, pair with a sweater and tights in the winter.
The slanted patch pockets hold a phone or a hand with a deeply rewarding ease. Named for American photographer Margrethe Mather.
We cut and sew each one in our barn studio in Upstate NY.
