Blue Papyrus - Long Sleeve Shirt
Blue Papyrus - Long Sleeve Shirt
This long sleeve is inspired by very old visual languages that have stayed with us for thousands of years.
The pattern is made of blue, grass-like floral forms that almost look like papyrus leaves, but aren’t tied to one specific plant. They’re influenced by antique drawings and ancient wall paintings. You can find similar shapes in very different cultures, from Japanese prints to Egyptian murals. I love how these early civilizations worked with forms that were extremely simple, yet incredibly intentional and detailed at the same time.
That balance between simplicity and precision is something I find very inspiring as an artist, and it’s exactly what I wanted to translate into this pattern.
I designed this one in my favorite color: blue. I wear blue and beige all the time, and I love how effortlessly it works with natural hair colors - brown, black, or blonde. It feels calm, timeless, and easy to combine, especially if you like building outfits around a small, cohesive color palette.
If you look closely, there are also tiny red floral accents scattered throughout the pattern. They’re very subtle, but they add a little warmth and tension to the blue, almost like small sparks inside an otherwise quiet surface.
This piece is meant to feel like a wearable artifact - something old, refined, and quietly expressive, but made for everyday life.
About the fit and fabric:
It’s a smooth, stretchy long sleeve with a slim, comfortable fit, longer body and sleeves, and flat seams so it feels nice on the skin. It also offers protection from sun and wind which makes it great for everyday wear and being out and about.
