After Coco Chanel, it's ikatee's turn to reinterpret the sailor's top (in all modesty 😉). This garment, historically intended to better identify sailors in the event of a fall overboard, is today the symbol of French elegance. So here are Quiberon and Quiberon kids, our new sailor's top patterns, the wardrobe essential. Timeless T-shirt or dress with a boat neckline or a high collar, several sleeve lengths, button placket on the shoulder and a small slit: everything is designed for absolute comfort! And because a surprise never comes alone at ikatee, our Capecod baby sailor top pattern has had a makeover: enough to have matchy-matchy looks for the whole family. It's the little ikatee touch that we love :-).
