Francisca

*Francisca* is a boxy top featuring a simple cable and lace pattern. The armhole edgings are worked as part of the main body, creating a gentle cabled edge. Its loose design offers freedom of movement, making it ideal for outdoor activities, beach walks, or relaxing at home. The round neck adds simplicity, while its chic, laid-back style makes it a versatile staple for your spring and summer wardrobe.
