'Niwa' is another new linen print from the ever-understated Japanese Hokkoh brand. It's a similar, trailing floral design to the popular Hokkoh 'Kiku' fine corduroys.  These new linen prints are light weight (at 125gsm) and are gorgeous against the skin.   The black 'ink' outline of the floral design and beige foliage sit in contrast with the coloured blooms and grey backgrounds.  This is the perfect time of year to introduce these amazing colourways.  They're great for trans-seasonal blouses and shirts, paired with grey, black or white 'bottoms', or would look striking 'solo' as a dress.  It's a little transparent for skirts and dresses, but once it's around your body you'll probably be fine.  

There are two colourways:

• Charcoal and Golden Yellow
• Grey and Green

Cloth Care:

Delicate Cycle; 30 Degrees, Line Dry. Wash colours separately. The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet and placed on a hanger to dry. To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade. Cotton needs a warm to hot iron. Conduct a spot test. Cotton is dry cleanable.
