Her birthday, and you want to get it right this year.
A mallard green silk shirt, in her size.
Clothing is the gift partners tend to avoid, because size feels like a trap. A button-up shirt with a clear chart is the exception: you need her US size and nothing else.
This is our Emancipation 1925 shirt, relaxed and button-up, in 100% mulberry silk hand-printed with Dragon of Grace on mallard green. Deep green goes with the black, navy and denim already in her closet.
S, M or L cover US 4 to 14. Made to measure is an option for an extra 10% of the listed price.

What the print means, for the card
Write this in the card: a Ly Dynasty dragon from the imperial citadel in Hanoi, whose Vietnamese name, May Hoa Long An, speaks of grace granted.
The dragon is drawn small and repeated in symmetry around a center, with bodhi leaves and a lotus pedestal. Ly dragons have no scales and three claws, and curve like water instead of coiling to strike.
It stands for strength and wisdom, carried lightly. Say that in the card and it becomes the compliment.
How she can wear it
Open over a white T-shirt With jeans, sleeves pushed up.
Buttoned under a blazer For work.
Tucked into a skirt For her birthday dinner.

Made to measure, +10%
Every shirt is cut to order in our Hanoi atelier. Select Made to measure, then reply to your order confirmation with your bust, waist and preferred sleeve and body length. Our team confirms within one business day, and tailoring adds 3 to 5 business days before dispatch. Once your measurements are confirmed, we send a secure link for the 10% made-to-measure surcharge. Made-to-measure pieces are not covered by our 30-day return and include one complimentary alteration instead. Same silk, same hand-printed panel, for an extra 10% of the listed price.
Is it real silk?
Yes, 100% mulberry silk, printed by hand like our scarves.
ELLE Vietnam and Harper's Bazaar Vietnam have both covered our studio.
Why $215
Our silk shirts are printed by hand in Hanoi, one color per screen, and the print is matched across the panels. Then it is sewn to order in our atelier.
$215 covers the shirt, free shipping and the US import duty. Made to measure costs 10% more and needs her measurements.
I do not know her size. What now?
Look at the label on a shirt or blouse she wears often and match the US size to the chart. If she falls between two, take the larger one.
Will it arrive before her birthday?
S, M or L: 1 to 3 business days in Hanoi, then 9 to 15 business days to a US address. Allow up to 18 business days, about three and a half weeks.
Made to measure: add 3 to 5 business days of tailoring before dispatch.
Order three and a half weeks ahead and you are covered.
If the size is wrong
S, M or L: return within 30 days, unworn and unwashed, in the original box. Change-of-mind return postage is yours, and store credit adds 15%.
Made to measure: outside the 30-day return, and one complimentary alteration is included instead.

How she should care for it
