Sweet but strong. Playful yet professional. My CANARY long-sleeve peplum top features a ruffled peplum waistline on a soft linen silhouette. This unique design is subtle enough to fit into any setting but has just enough spark to get a second look. For more versatility, unbutton and layer over your favorite tank.

I love linen because of its strength and durability. Linen is considered to be the strongest of all-plant-based fibers, and gets stronger and softer with washes! I also love it for its low environmental impact, breathability, comfort, and versatility. I thrive on the natural wrinkles in the fabric... it's a lifestyle.
This fabric is very opaque (not see-through), so you'll find Charlie Darwin garments are perfectly breezy and freeing to wear with or without a bra, and with most shades of underwear.
For most colors, I use pigments from plants to hand-dye the fabric and achieve rich earth tones.
The black fabric is still wonderfully eco-conscious and skin-sensitive! This blackest black linen fabric is AZO-free and OEKO-TEX certified free from harmful toxins, dyed in California following strict US environmental regulations.
The white fabrics are undyed.

Care: Please machine wash cold & delicate with like colors, then hang dry, or tumble dry on a delicate setting until 90% dry. For longer-lasting color, wash with a neutral pH detergent and avoid drying in high heat or direct sunlight.
Mend: I believe the garments you love should outlive you. So, I include a complimentary mending kit with every order, which contains matching scrap fabric, matching thread, a sewing needle, and a guide to visible mending. Repair is noble!
Compost: From soil to soil, the lifecycle of this garment can go full circle if you would like to compost it. Linen, a fabric made from the flax plant, is durable enough to withstand a lifetime of adventures, but can also decompose back into the earth when buried in soil! When this garment gets totally 'worn out', follow these steps
- Cut out and discard the seams
- Cut the remaining fabric into 2-3" pieces
- Mix them into your compost pile, garden, etc, and watch them disappear over 2-10 weeks!
