“Tomatoes” Embroidered Knit Vest

Red cherry tomatoes stitched on the vine across the front, with the word Tomatoes embroidered in green above them. It is silly in the way that good knitwear is sometimes silly.

The embroidery is proper — raised, hand-finished, not a transfer — which is the difference between a joke you wear once and a joke you wear every autumn.

The fabric

A plain soft knit under the embroidery, sleeveless and cut to layer, with ribbed trims at the neck and armholes. Two colours: creamy ivory and a soft heather grey.

How it fits

One size, cut to go over a shirt without pulling at the armholes.

Looking after it

Cold hand wash or a wool cycle, and dry it flat rather than on a hanger – a knit this weight will stretch at the shoulders in a season if you hang it wet. Fold it to store. A cool iron under a cloth if the hem needs settling, never directly on the rib.

It is the piece people photograph. If you like your cute clothes to wear to have a joke in them rather than a slogan, this is the one — genuinely aesthetic cute clothes rather than a print pretending to be, and the most personal cute fashion style thing we stock.
