All our pieces are great for travel, but Walter has become known as a travel essential. It is the most versatile style, so you can get several outfits with just one shirt. The fabric stays crisp and fresh for long journeys, and can hold up for 2-3 days without washing.

Ludwig is a closer fit, with higher shoulders. It’s a great piece to sit under a jacket. But the split side seams still allow for shapely hips, if you have those. (Lots of women do.)

Marianne is a slim fit that works. It’s the boardroom hero, staying true to the traditional form of a woman’s tailored shirt. Our twist is that the darts and seams are more discreet, and we have our .
