Chrysalis T-Shirt

A caterpillar in nine colours ambles across the chest, smiling, in no particular hurry. It reads like the first page of a picture book, before anything has changed, and that patience is part of its charm. Each round segment is crocheted by hand and sewn on, a cream face and antennae leading pink, mustard, slate, teal, green, purple and red, every one on small stitched legs. Orange scalloped lace edges the sleeves and hem of a soft white cotton tee. Wear it with jeans and trainers on a day that needs lightening. Finished by women artisans, so no two caterpillars walk alike.
