Vintage Embroidered Cotton Sailor Collar
Couldn't load pickup availability
A beautifully reworked adjustable collar made from vintage embroidered cotton, crisp white and quietly striking.
Crafted from carefully sourced vintage textiles and pieced together here in Scotland, this generous sailor-style collar sits beautifully across the shoulders and back, framing coats, dresses and knits with soft structure.
The crisp cotton base has a light, breathable feel, with intricate embroidered detailing throughout that adds texture and interest without feeling overly precious. Finished with a simple tie fastening, it can be worn tied at the front or reversed and fastened at the back, depending on how you want the neckline to sit.
Inspired by recent oversized statement -style collar moments, but reworked through a slower, one-off lens, this is a piece designed to be styled again and again. Layer over pieces in your wardrobe to add softness and structure in equal measure.
Made in very limited numbers due to the nature of the vintage textiles used.

Why it matters
