Lela Patchwork Boxy Shirt, Indigo Japanese Denim

Woven from premium Japanese cotton, it’s cut for an oversized fit, with a boxy silhouette, dropped shoulders, and mini side splits. Special flourishes complete this timeless wardrobe foundation: tonal topstitching, natural ivory corozo buttons, box pleating and contrast yoke at the back, and curved hem, which means the shirt hangs beautifully when worn untucked. Look out also for our Lela shirt in sunny pastel orange and yellow cotton.

Composition: 100% Cotton Japanese Denim

Made in the UK, by MAES London


Clothing Care | Wash less, love always

We recommend hanging your shirt to air outdoors, rather than washing after every wear. This way, it will last longer and also have a lower environmental impact. Spot clean marks with warm soapy water, and when it does need a wash, follow our care advice:

- Machine wash 30 degrees
- Wash with similar colours
- Medium iron
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry

A note on our Japanese cotton and corozo buttons

Our Lela shirt is made from Japanese natural indigo cotton, which is known for its unique quality; no two fabrics are the same, because of the way it has been woven. Our cotton is also certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, which means it’s completely free from chemicals harmful to your skin. We’ve used corozo – known as vegetable ivory – for our buttons, as it comes from a nut found in South America which can only be harvested once it naturally falls to the ground, making it a more sustainable choice.

Our shirt was made in the UK by MAES London, a stones-throw away from the Saywood studio. MAES take the utmost care in their production, with expert craftsmanship and high quality finish, with high standards of social responsibility for their makers.
