You Dim Sum, You Lose Some Tee, Gherkin, L
Why it's in Leftovers: You Dim Sum, You Lose Some is one of our original designs and we haven't relaunched it yet, it's a lighter tee in a style we don't usually do, and there's no printed label inside the neck.
A one-off, and the only one there’ll ever be.
Some days you crush it, some days you spill the soy sauce. That's just how life (and lunch) goes. Embroidered with three steamed dumplings in a bamboo basket, one plucked up by a pair of red chopsticks, on a deep green Gherkin tee in 100% organic cotton. Perfect for foodies who can't win 'em all… but always eat well.
Size: L. This is a unisex tee, equivalent to a women's size 14 (EU 42).
Before you tuck in
- Each piece is a genuine one-off, so once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
- Postage is already baked into the price, so there’s nothing extra to pay at checkout.
- Leftovers are packed and sent separately, so they will arrive apart from the rest of your order.
- As one-off, final-sale pieces, Leftovers aren’t returnable if you change your mind. Each unique item is purchased exactly as photographed (any faults have already been highlighted).
This return policy does not affect the separate legal right of withdrawal or cancellation, which is available only under some circumstances to EEA, EU and UK consumers.
Made of 100% organic ring-spun combed cotton, 180gsm. GOTS-certified and ethically made.
Fit Our unisex tee is a relaxed, straight, slightly boxy cut. Our women’s tee is a little more shaped with a closer silhouette. Both are a medium fit, so size down if you like it tighter on your chest or size up if you like it roomier.
Care Machine wash cold (30°), inside out, with similar colours. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Iron on a low heat, inside out. Do not dry clean.
