Fresco No. 2 Cynatope Shirt

Wearable art shaped by sunlight.

The Fresco No. 2 is crafted from breathable cotton and individually printed using the traditional cyanotype process. Sunlight develops the artwork directly onto the fabric, creating rich indigo-blue tones, soft tonal transitions and expressive details across the shirt.

The full-length composition flows across the front of the garment, giving the shirt the character of a printed canvas rather than a conventional patterned piece. Finished with a structured collar, full sleeves, button cuffs and natural-look buttons, it balances artistic detail with an easy, wearable silhouette.

Because every shirt is exposed and developed by hand, minor differences in colour, print placement and texture are part of the process. No two pieces will be completely identical.

Wash Care

Cyanotype is a light-sensitive, handcrafted printing process and should be cared for gently.

• Hand wash separately in cold water
• Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent
• Do not use bleach, stain removers or harsh chemicals
• Do not soak
• Do not scrub or wring the printed areas
• Dry naturally in the shade
• Do not tumble dry
• Iron inside out on a low setting
• Do not iron directly over the artwork
• Store away from prolonged direct sunlight
• Dry cleaning is not recommended

The indigo tone may gradually soften with washing and wear. This natural evolution is part of the character of the cyanotype process.

Artisan Disclaimer

Each shirt is individually exposed, printed and developed using sunlight. Slight variations in colour intensity, artwork placement, print definition and surface texture are expected. These differences are not defects; they make every piece unique.

Colours may also appear slightly different depending on screen settings and lighting conditions.
