Description
An artisan-crafted shirt blending Brazilian heritage with contemporary silhouette, where relaxed tailoring meets artisan craftsmanship.
The Amapô Jana shirt embodies the São Paulo-based label’s signature approach to elevated everyday wear, weaving together traditional craft techniques with modern proportions. Cut from a luxurious lyocell and cotton blend, the shirt features a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette that drapes beautifully on the body, finished with thoughtful details like a convertible collar and mother-of-pearl buttons that catch the light with every movement.
Named after founder Priscila Kunieda’s vision of creating clothing that honors Brazilian artisanship, the Jana shirt reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainable production and natural fibers. The piece showcases subtle design signatures including tonal stitching, a curved hemline that allows for versatile styling, and a soft hand-feel that only improves with wear—making it a wardrobe staple that transcends seasonal collections.
Whether buttoned up for a polished look or worn open over a camisole, the Jana shirt represents Amapô’s dedication to creating pieces with soul—garments that tell a story of slow fashion, ethical manufacturing, and the rich textile traditions of Brazil.
