Ara Tunic

$6.50

Designed for Quince and Co, the Ara tunic is a blend of modern style and laid-back vibe. The tunic length and slightly oversized fit drapes beautifully in Quince & Co’s Tern, and the long slit hem gives a contemporary feel. Details include a front set-in pocket as well as a subtle textured stitch pattern at the yoke.
