Max Mara Vieste ruffled striped top

The Max Mara Vieste ruffled striped top is the brand at its most pared-back, prioritising fit and finish over flourish.

62% Viscose 38% Polyester, in black, UK 14 — the kind of detail that's easy to miss until you're holding it.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
