Cúr

Named after the Irish word for foam, Cúr is an airy, relaxed tank, as suitable for running through sea spray as it is for lounging with a frothy beverage.

The simple, streamlined silhouette is offset by a delicate lace insert along the neckline. Following a traditional nautical lace motif, the insert is constructed in an unusual and engaging manner.

Worked seamlessly from the top down, Cúr can be knitted as a tank top or as a tank dress - either of which will make a dramatic addition to a summer wardrobe.
