The South American Alstroemeria is a genus of brightly colored flowers known as the lily of the Incas. Popular in floral arrangements, the 120-some members of the Alstroemeria family have an interesting trait in that their leaves are upside-down—that is, they twist so that what we see as the top of the leaf is actually the leaf’s underside.

Artisans in Peru use the lily of the Incas as their inspiration for this breezy, semi-sheer cotton tunic. A winding floral appliqué adorns the chest, sleeves, and hem. Gathered just below the bust and at the back for a flattering shape. Single-button cuffs.

Hand-embroidered in Peru. 100% cotton. Women’s sizes S (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14), XL (16-18).

Machine wash.
