THE STORY
Reckless Ericka's Square Sleeve Pankou Top from the UNDERSTORY collection draws its character from the meeting of traditional detail and a more assertive silhouette. The V-neckline leads into a row of pankou-and-ball fastenings, while the extended square shoulders create a strong horizontal line across the upper body. The shape falls cleanly through the torso before being drawn in by a wide detachable sash, giving definition at the waist while allowing the longer front panels to fall naturally over the hips.

The deep indigo textile has a richly worked surface, with fine, irregular markings running across the fabric like layered strokes. Against the precision of the shoulder line and fastening, that texture gives the piece depth and movement, the pattern only fully visible up close.

For Work
Wear it with our Pleated Peg Trousers (Navy) and tying the sash into a clean knot at the waist. Add low slingbacks and a leather bag for a polished warm-weather office look.

For Night Out
Pair it with our Billowing Skirt (Black), then add silver or gold earrings and a sleek heel. Complete the look with a small hand clutch and let the prints take center stage.

For Weekends
Wear it untucked with our Denim Jacquard Jeans or relaxed wide leg pants like our Pleated Skirt Trousers, letting the sash sit loosely at the back or removing it altogether. Flat sandals and a soft shoulder bag keep the structured shoulder line easy.

MATERIAL
Material: Denim Jacquard
Composition: 46% Cotton, 30% Gracell™, 24% Bamboo
Weight: 285gsm
Feel: A medium-weight denim jacquard, crafted from a natural fibre blend of cotton, Gracell™ and bamboo. The composition brings together structure and softness, offering durability from cotton, silk-like smoothness from Gracell™, and breathable comfort from bamboo fibre. The weave forms elongated, directional lines that flow across the surface in layered, almost brushstroke-like movements. Fine yarn contrasts create subtle tonal shifts, giving the pattern depth without relying on colour changes. The lines vary in density, some tightly packed and others more open, creating rhythm and texture within the cloth.
