W5410 Tunic - Grey Oversized Asymmetric Viscose Satin Cold-Dyed Gathered Sleeves Elasticated Cuffs Women's Italian

Regular price €121.93 EUR

A Tunic That Refuses to Be Simple.

The W5410 is 100% viscose satin, cold-dyed to a shifting grey that moves between warm and cool depending on the light. Oversized and asymmetric, with gathered sleeves that create volume at the arm and elasticated cuffs that bring it back in at the wrist. A piece that sits between a shirt and a dress — worn over trousers, layered under a coat, or alone as a short dress. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Tunic Is Different

  • Cold-Dyed Viscose Satin: 100% viscose, cold-dyed after construction — a low-temperature process that creates unrepeatable tonal variation across the satin surface. The grey shifts from warm silver to cool ash depending on the light and the direction of the satin weave. No two pieces are identical.
  • Gathered Sleeves with Elasticated Cuffs: The sleeves are gathered — excess fabric is drawn into the cuff, creating volume and drape along the arm that collapses to a fitted finish at the wrist. The elasticated cuffs hold the gather in place without buttons or closures. Unlike standard satin sleeves, the gathered construction creates a lantern-like shape that adds visual interest and movement.
  • Asymmetric Oversized Silhouette: The hem is deliberately uneven — longer at the back, shorter at the front — creating a silhouette that works as a tunic over trousers or as a short dress worn alone. The oversized cut falls away from the body.
  • 100% Viscose Satin: A natural-derived fibre with a fluid drape and a natural sheen that synthetic satins cannot replicate. The viscose content means the cold dye absorbs with depth and variation — the grey is not flat, but dimensional.
  • Made in Italy: Cold dyeing, gathered sleeve construction, and finishing all completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The satin catches the light before you've finished dressing. The cold-dyed grey is not a flat colour — it shifts as the fabric moves, warmer in the folds, cooler on the flat panels, different again where the satin weave catches the light at an angle. The gathered sleeves fall from the shoulder with volume, then collapse to the elasticated cuff at the wrist — a shape that is simultaneously relaxed and considered.

The asymmetric hem means the tunic reads differently from the front and the back. Worn over wide-leg trousers, the longer back hem creates a layered silhouette; worn alone, the shorter front hem reveals the leg while the back falls longer. This is a piece that rewards movement.

The Art of Cold Dyeing on Viscose Satin

Cold dyeing is a low-temperature dyeing process applied to the finished garment. In viscose satin, the effect is amplified by the weave: the satin surface reflects light differently depending on the direction of the weave, and the cold dye interacts with this directionality to create a colour that appears to shift across the surface. The grey in the W5410 is the result of this process — warm in some lights, cool in others, never flat. Because the garment is already constructed when it enters the dye bath, seams and stress points absorb more dye than flat panels, creating a dimensional finish that cannot be replicated with standard fabric dyeing. Each piece is unique.

The Art of Gathered Sleeves

Gathering is a construction technique where excess fabric is drawn into a seam or cuff, creating controlled volume and drape. In the W5410, the sleeves are gathered into elasticated cuffs — the excess viscose satin is drawn into the cuff, creating a lantern-like shape along the arm that collapses to a fitted finish at the wrist. The elasticated cuff holds the gather without buttons or closures, and the viscose satin — with its natural drape and fluid weight — falls from the gather in a way that a stiffer fabric cannot replicate. The result is a sleeve that adds volume and movement without adding bulk.

How to Wear It

  • Over Trousers, Minimal: Wear over wide-leg or straight-leg trousers — the asymmetric hem creates a layered silhouette, the gathered sleeves add volume at the arm. Tuck the front hem slightly for a more defined proportion.
  • As a Short Dress: Wear alone with heeled sandals or flat mules — the shorter front hem reveals the leg while the longer back hem adds drama from behind.
  • Belted: Add a wide belt at the waist to define the silhouette and change the proportion of the oversized body — the gathered sleeves remain the focal point.
  • Layered Under a Coat: Wear under a long structured coat with the gathered sleeves and asymmetric hem visible below — the cold-dyed grey satin catches light even under outerwear.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash cold — cold water only to preserve the cold-dyed finish and viscose satin
  • Do not machine wash — viscose satin loses its drape and sheen in a machine wash cycle
  • Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight
  • Do not iron directly — steam only, or iron on the reverse at low heat
  • Do not bleach — bleach will strip the cold dye and damage the viscose
  • Store hung to preserve the drape and the gathered sleeve shape
