This one-of-a-kind striped shirt has been created by London-based fashion designer and artist Bethany Williams for TOAST Renewed, using items from past TOAST collections that have been either damaged or returned to our warehouse. The layered piece is constructed from different cotton striped shirts, with the stripes moving in different directions. There are multiple collars that fasten at the back, with ruffles taken from existing shirts, and elongated sleeves.

“I wanted to create a historical, almost antique feeling, but reinterpret it through a contemporary shape,” says Bethany. “I have been researching Manx heritage and looking through archives, and I wanted to take some of these familiar historical shapes and move them into something new. I draped the shape on the stand and Alex from Making for Change constructed the garment. Reusing the collars in an unusual way and changing the direction of the stripes creates the slightly off-kilter feeling I was looking for - almost like a hidden memory that has been rearranged.”

Patchworked striped cotton. Layered construction. Ruffled collar. Asymmetric stripes. Elongated sleeves. Back button fastening.

This style is part of TOAST Renewed By, our limited-edition collaboration series, which sees garments transformed by guest artists through traditional textile handcrafts, honouring both their past and their potential future.

100% cotton. Machine wash.
Made in the United Kingdom.
As this piece has been repaired, extra care should be taken when cleaning. It is also best to avoid jewellery that may catch or snag.

Cotton Care Guide

Cotton is a versatile, comfortable and breathable fabric and is easy to look after. At TOAST, we love cotton for its ability to take dye and retain bright colours and intricate prints.

Obtained from the fibres surrounding the soft seed pods of the cotton plant, cotton is a natural and biodegradable fibre that has been used since antiquity. The fibres are cleaned and spun into threads before being made into a variety of fabrics, from denim and corduroy to poplin and twills.

How to wash

Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your cotton less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.

How to dry & store

Reshape your garment whilst damp by holding the side seams together and shaking. Cotton is best dried flat or hanging to prevent the need for ironing. If an item requires ironing, then it is best to do so whilst slightly damp or using the steam setting.

Hang your cotton clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
