Product Insights
Marine Serre's Regenerated Openwork Cabana Shirt transforms salvaged 1970s French linen into a unique luxury piece using 17th-century Richelieu cutwork, creating tonal openwork texture with a drop-shoulder silhouette. The upcycled construction celebrates the LVMH Prize-winning brand's circular ethos, but the delicate vintage fabric and intricate embroidery demand gentle hand washing and professional repair if needed. Fit varies slightly between pieces, and sizing down breaks the intended drape.
Verified claims
- Silhouette
- Drop-shoulder silhouette quotes the easy drape of original cabana shirts.
- Richelieu embroidery
- Richelieu cutwork revives a 17th-century whitework technique, replacing prints with tonal texture.
- Cutwork technique
- Richelieu cutwork, not an eyelet style, is outlined in buttonhole stitch and connected by stitched bars, creating a breathable, lace-like network.
- Care
- Hand wash cold or gentle cycle in delicates bag; air dry flat.
- Heritage
- Richelieu cutwork takes its name from Cardinal Richelieu, linking this shirt's openwork to the 17th-century French court.
- Upcycling process
- Each shirt is reverse-engineered from a specific salvaged 1970s French pillowcase or tablecloth, with openwork placement adapted to that linen.
- LVMH Prize
- Marine Serre received the LVMH Prize in 2017.
- Materials
- 100% cotton from a distinct 1970s French pillowcase or tablecloth.
- Construction
- Structured cotton and pearly button closure elevate the relaxed cabana silhouette beyond poolside loungewear.
- Uniqueness
- Every shirt is unique, adapted to the specific vintage linen it's cut from.
- Brand mission
- Awarded the 2017 LVMH Prize for proving upcycled materials belong in luxury.
- Sizing guidance
- Order your usual size; sizing down breaks the drop-shoulder silhouette.
- Durability
- Richelieu cutwork is structurally more stable than simple eyelet because cut edges are buttonhole-stitched and connected by bars, but vintage linen and stitched edges still need gentle care.
- Outfit pairings
- Pairs with linen trousers and layers over fitted tees for smart-casual looks.
- Brand and design
- Marine Serre's circular 'Love is to repair' ethos underpins the shirt's upcycled design.
- Richelieu revival
- Richelieu embroidery had largely faded from commercial production by the late 20th century; this shirt helps rescue the technique from oblivion.
