(PRE-SALE) Ep. 70: LILLE organic relaxed boxy tee

A PRE-SALE EXCLUSIVE. Releasing mid-September (Thu 24.09.26) Exclusively from our Byron Bay Hinterland Studio. Little sis. She's the reason the job exists. Nobody becomes the oldest daughter until somebody else turns up. She got the second edition. Softer parents, a looser curfew, and a map already drawn by someone who'd had to work it out in the dark. She knows it, too — that's the part people miss. She watched her sister take the hits that made the rules, and she has never once pretended she didn't benefit. She has also spent her whole life measured against someone who went first. Compared, defended, handed down to, and loved fiercely by a person who was still a kid herself. LILLE says it plainly across the chest — Little Sis, and beneath it, Oldest Daughter. Because you don't get one without the other. Cut as a women's cropped boxy tee in 200gsm garment-washed cotton, half recycled and half organic, in black with the print in white. High mock neckline, wide elbow-length sleeves, a straight square body that sits at the natural waist. Substantial, structured, soft from the first wear. A note on the fit. LILLE is relaxed, cropped and boxy — roomy through the body, short in the length. It's cut identically to RAYA. Take your usual size. If you'd like more length, size up one. DESIGNED & PRINTED IN THE BYRON BAY HINTERLAND WHY YOU'LL LIVE IN IT + A high mock neck and wide cropped sleeves give it a shape most tees don't have — square, architectural, deliberate. It holds its own line instead of collapsing at the shoulder, which is the whole difference between a t-shirt and a piece. The white print sits hard against the black so it reads clean from across a room. Wear it high-waisted with tailoring, with denim, with whatever's on the floor. The 200gsm cotton is garment-washed before it reaches you, so it arrives broken-in and stays that way. Half the fibre is recycled — the quietest thing on this page, and the part we're proudest of. PRODUCT DETAILS + Women's relaxed cropped boxy fit Black, with the print in white 200gsm single jersey, garment-washed 50% recycled cotton + 50% organic ring-spun cotton 1×1 ribbed mock neckline Self-fabric back neck tape Set-in sleeves, wide and elbow length Twin-needle topstitching at armholes, cuffs and hem Reduced shrinkage from garment washing Original "Little Sis · Oldest Daughter" front print, plain back Sizes XS – 2XL FIT AND SIZING + LILLE is cut relaxed and boxy with a cropped body — take your usual size for the intended square shape, or size up one if you'd prefer more length. It's roomier through the chest than a standard women's tee and shorter in the body than our boyfriend tees, so it wears quite differently to the rest of the range. Identical in cut and measurement to RAYA, so if you have one, take the same size in the other. Our model is >>> FILL: height <<< and wears a >>> FILL: size <<<. Full measurements below. FABRIC & FEEL + A midweight 200gsm single jersey blended from 50% recycled and 50% organic ring-spun cotton, then garment-washed for a soft, lived-in handle and reduced shrinkage. Substantial enough to hold the boxy shape, soft enough to live in. Recycled cotton means fibre that already existed — no new crop, no new water, nothing sent to landfill that could still be worn. CARE + Cold machine wash inside-out with similar colours. Wash darks together for the first few washes — deep-dyed cotton can release a little excess colour early on, which is normal and settles quickly. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Reshape and line dry in the shade, out of direct sun. Cool iron if needed, never directly on the print. SHIPPING AND RETURNS + Tracked delivery Australia-wide. 30-day returns on unworn, unwashed items with original tags attached — return postage at your cost, exchange postage on us. FAQS + How does LILLE fit? Relaxed, boxy and cropped. Take your usual size, or size up one for more length. Is it unisex? No — LILLE is a women's cut, shaped for a woman's frame, XS to 2XL. Most of our range is unisex; this one and RAYA are not. How does it compare to RAYA? Identical cut and measurements — same blank, same fit, same size. RAYA is white with a black print and reads Big Sis; LILLE is black with a white print and reads Little Sis. They're made to sit beside each other. How does it compare to your boyfriend tees? Shorter in the body and cut for a woman's frame. FLO and KAIA are long and unisex; LILLE is square and cropped. Is it cropped-cropped? It sits at the natural waist — short, not bare. Easy over a high-waisted trouser or jean. Will the black fade? Not if you wash it cold, inside out, and dry it in the shade. Direct sun is what takes the depth out of black cotton, not the washing machine. Is it really sustainable? 50% recycled and 50% organic cotton, garment-washed, made in a single small Episode so nothing goes to waste. Does it contain any synthetic fibre? None. No polyester, no elastane, no plastic. Where is it made? The cotton is woven, dyed and assembled offshore, then every piece is designed and printed here in the Byron Bay hinterland. Who's it for? Her. Or from her, to the one who went first — which is usually how it goes. Will it be restocked? No — every Episode closes for good. FOR THE NEXT GENERATION + Every family has an order, and everyone in it got a different version of the same parents. The one who went first wrote the rules by breaking them. The one who came after inherited a map and a bodyguard she never asked for. Neither of them chose it, and both of them are still doing it. That instinct — to leave the people who come after you with more than you were given — is the same one behind everything we make. Half-recycled, half-organic cotton, made in a small run, designed and printed in the Byron Bay hinterland, cut to be worn for years and handed down after that. So this isn't really about a t-shirt. It's about the two of you, and who did what for whom. 🤎
