Bell

The Bell top, named after feminist author and social activist Bell Hooks, is as bold as the woman for whom it was designed. The Bell features a deep V both in the front and back with two the ties that secure the shirt in place at the nape of the neck. Its dropped shoulder seams give it a relaxed summer feel, while the red and white stripe cotton poplin elevates this shirt to a near black-tie level. Picture this tucked into a ballgown skirt — perfect for a summer wedding. Yet the magic in this shirt is in its ability to work just as well with a pair of denim cutoffs. Available in red and white stripe, black and white. This red and white stripe is 100% English pin-stripe cotton. The all white and all black versions are made of crisp white Sea Island Cotton. Accounting for just .0004% of the cotton supply worldwide, Sea Island Cotton is the rarest cotton in the world. The fibers in Sea Island Cotton are extra-long and considered superior to all other cotton types due to their uniformity and consistency. This allows Sea Island Cotton to be unbelievably soft — a quality that endures despite repeated washings. Rather than degrade over time, the hand feel of Sea Island Cotton improves from wash to wash and the color maintains its vibrancy. This top was produced in New York at what is considered to be the premier shirt making factory in Manhattan. The men and women who handle each item are industry veterans, having honed their fine Italian craftsmanship under the dedicated eye of the Garment District’s legacy. These men, women and the factory they work for are just as dedicated to product excellence as we are.

By eliminating third party retailers, AMMARA is able to charge less than a third of the margin you pay at a department store. This allows us to provide you with the highest caliber product at the best possible price. We work with the most luxurious fabrics like Sea Island Cotton — about four times as expensive as regular cotton poplin, and Four Ply Crepe — a type of silk most often used in couture garments. Our factories are the best in their class, run by professionals with over forty years of experience working with designer garments. AMMARA shirts are designer quality shirts at much more accessible price points.
