Tiia-Èlina Shirt

This graphic and gorgeous shirt was new for spring 2024!

The shirt was designed by our entrepreneur Mimmi Äänekoski together with the shirt manufacturer, Meitsin Couture, a sewing company from Jyväskylä. The garment is therefore responsibly made in Finnish craftsmanship.

The material is kitenge, a cotton imported from Uganda, which is a wonderfully sturdy and fitting fabric, but softens with washing. However, the product may shrink in machine washing, so we recommend a cool hand wash at 30-40C.

The Tiia-Èlina shirt has lovely puff sleeves and a slightly cropped length. It's meant to be slightly oversize, meaning it doesn't go all the way across.

Tiia-Èlina, like all of the Shop's clothing, is made to order.

Custom-made products do not have the right to exchange or return, as they are made according to the measurements provided by the customer.

However, if there are major problems with the fit of the garment, for example, the measurements are off from our side compared to the measurements provided by the customer, please contact us by email at bloomingdesertafrica@gmail.com.

So first, carefully check your own measurements in relation to the human size chart on this product card. For example, if you are a size L according to the chart, it is good to note that there is room for movement in the clothes, meaning the measurements in the size chart are NOT the measurements of the garment.

There is room for flexibility in clothing, as the measurements of the garment cannot be exactly the same as the measurements of the body – hardly anyone wants the garment to be a sausage casing 😊

The material of the clothes is 100% non-stretch cotton, and this is a good thing to consider when ordering the product!

Ordering:

Choose your size below according to the size chart and find the right fabric here (we still have the turquoise fabric in the pictures!)

Pay for the product as normal. You will soon receive an email asking for the fabric you want. This is because there are a very limited number of fabrics and this ensures that you will be informed immediately whether the fabric you want is still available.
