Lunch at Quo Vadis

Lunch at Quo Vadis is a cropped E.M. Reitz shirt celebrating the details of proper shirtmaking. A petite bias binding runs along the feminine jewel neckline, and a twin bias binding circles the armholes, creating a charming and flattering flange at the shoulder. Double shell buttons run down the front of the shirt, serving as functional closures and whimsical decoration. The small tucks in the neckline create room over the bust and shoulder blades without creating volume. The sleeve is long and tubular, ending in a small pleat that tapers at your wrist and closes with double shell buttons. This shirt has internal French seams and a clean turn-back hem that sits at your high hip - ideal for the perfect French tuck in a true-waisted bottom.

Named after my favorite restaurant in London's buzzy Soho neighborhood, this shirt is perfect for an elegant lunch. Order a filet of turbot and a crisp white wine.

This fabric, woven for us in Italy, is our first fully custom offering, unique to E.M. Reitz; it is 100% Cotton with a very luxurious, silky hand-feel. The pale pink color is inspired by our favorite Carta Pura stationery called Rivoli. It is a soft, almost peach, pale, barely there pink that reads as a neutral. We think it's the perfect pink.
