THE DETAILS

Courrèges short-sleeve knit tee in aqua blue with horizontal white textured stripes. Designed with a classic crew neckline, ribbed hem, and fitted silhouette. Made in Japan during the brand’s late 1990s - early 2000s revival, this piece blends Courrèges’ clean minimalism with a casual Y2K edge. 

Brand Background

SIZE

  • Tagged size 9R (JP).
  • A 9R typically translates to US 4–6, but the top is intended as a loose fit. Based on measurements, best fits up to a US 16 depending on desired drape. See measurements & size chart below for accuracy.

COMPOSITION (translated)

  • 50% cotton
  • 50% acrylic

CARE TAG (translated)

*Care tag info is provided as a general guide, but fabrics age differently. Always clean gently and treat with care.

SIZING NOTE

Flat lay measurements in description, chart is below.

The size shown online is matched to the chart (not always the same as the tag). Vintage sizing is all over the place, so go by the numbers for the best fit.

What are flat lay measurements?

Flat lay measurements are taken with the garment laid flat on a surface. Bust (pit-to-pit), waist, and hips are measured straight across and then doubled to show full circumference. These line up with the size chart below.

Other details like inseam, rise, sleeve length, and hems are listed as-is in the description.

TRANSLATED TAGS

Some care labels are in other languages. I use Google Translate to provide the English version. It’s generally accurate, but allow for a small margin of error in wording.

SUSTAINABILITY

I’m not about to pretend I live a zero-waste, hand-weave-my-own-toothbrush lifestyle. I don’t.

What I can do is push you toward vintage and secondhand instead of buying new. It’s one of the easiest ways to keep clothes in circulation, cut down on waste, and feel a little less guilty about the pile in your cart (as long as you shop it here, obviously 😏).

FINAL SALE POLICY

All sales final. Consider this your commitment ceremony.

Read the policy if you like fine print.

REALITY CHECK

All sales are final.
This is vintage/secondhand. One-of-one, not mass-produced. Returns and refunds aren’t industry standard, and here’s why:

  • Every piece is unique. There isn’t another one in a warehouse waiting to replace it.
  • Most sellers aren’t marking up like big-box retail. Those guys add 100% - 200% on top (yes, that $80 shirt is $20 of fabric and $60 of audacity). They run on volume, steady supply, and a built-in returns budget. Vintage and secondhand margins are slimmer, closer to 30–60%. There’s no extra cushion to eat returns.
  • These pieces aren’t meant to rack up frequent flyer miles. Every extra trip breaks them down, which kills the point of keeping them alive.

So: check photos, read the notes, ask questions if you need.
This isn’t fast fashion with a 30-day return label. It’s the opposite (and that’s the point).

SIZE CHART

Tags are cute, measurements are facts. Think of this chart as a cheat sheet. A "size 6" in 1999 and a "size 6" today are not the same species.
