The top that goes with everything.
The Paerau is cut from 100% deadstock linen in a relaxed wide-sleeve silhouette with a pintuck front panel and a delicate tie at the neckline. The drawstring hem lets you wear it loose and flowing or gathered in slightly — two completely different looks from the same piece.
Named after Paerau, a small settlement in the Maniototo valley, it carries the same quiet character as the landscape around it. Unhurried. Easy. Built to last.
Wear it tucked into the Mt Buster Pant for a full linen look straight off the Lohi runway, or loose over linen shorts on a warm Central Otago afternoon. The natural oat colourway works with everything in your wardrobe and softens beautifully with every wash.
