DETAILS Relaxed fit. Made in India. DESCRIPTION Long-sleeve shirt in navy cotton. Featuring LABRUM's signature cowrie shell embroidered in white at front. Grandad collar. Front button fastening with coconut shell buttons. Buttoned cuffs. Curved hem. The cowrie shell has been a symbol of prosperity, protection and connection across West Africa for centuries. Once used as currency and worn as a protective talisman, it reflects a rich history of trade, cultural exchange and identity. At LABRUM, we reinterpret the cowrie through prints, hardware and detailing as a contemporary symbol of heritage, reminding us that culture is one of our greatest forms of wealth. It is a tribute to the stories, traditions and craftsmanship that continue to shape our communities and inspire every collection.
