Gaivotas Over the Atlantic, Organic Cotton T-Shirt

Some images stay with you long after the coast disappears from view. Seagulls over open water is one of them. The Design The gaivotas of Portugal's Atlantic shore are not decoration. They are company. You notice them above the breakwater at Nazaré, tracing arcs over the harbor mouth at Cascais, riding the updrafts off the cliffs at Cabo Espichel. This tee distills that sight into line and space: a minimal arrangement of birds in flight that carries more feeling than a photograph. It is the kind of image that reads as quietly personal, not like a souvenir, because it is not trying to explain Portugal to anyone. It assumes you already know. The Material Made from 100% organic combed ring-spun cotton, certified under both GOTS and OCS, this is a fabric with some integrity behind it. At 5.3 oz./yd.² (180 g/m²) it has enough body to hold its shape through years of regular wear. 100% organic combed ring-spun cotton, GOTS and OCS certified Fabric weight: 5.3 oz./yd.² (180 g/m²) Regular fit with set-in sleeves 1 x 1 rib at the collar for a clean, structured neckline Double-needle topstitch on sleeves and bottom hem Self-fabric neck tape inside the back for comfort against the skin Who It Is For For people who have stood at the edge of the Atlantic and felt something shift. For the Portuguese diaspora who keep a piece of the coast close, and for anyone whose relationship with Portugal runs deeper than a week in Lisbon. It wears well on its own or layered, at home or somewhere near the water. Part of The Atlantic Wave Portuguese Coastal Collection, this design sits alongside others that draw from the same shoreline, the same light, the same pull of the sea. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry.
