HARLAN Traditional Japanese Butterfly Print Short Sleeve Shirt in Berry Red

The Harlan Shirt: This one is very special to me.A few years ago my mom developed symptoms of dementia and was beginning to lose cognitive function.One day she came out of the bedroom wearing her butterfly print tank top.She sat next to me and began to talk about things from her childhood in Greece. It was as though she was transported to another time & place and I kinda knew that she wasn't coming back.She didn't have a clue as to who I was.But, she seemed so happy to be talking about her own mother and her sister - it was as if she knew they would soon be reunited.My mom passed away this past February, I hadn't seen her that peaceful in many years.While I love so many of the Japanese prints, this one felt particularly important.It is believed that our loved ones begin their journey to the next life in the form of a butterfly.So, this one's for you, mom. 100% cotton, trimmed with natural buttons and navy herringbone tape.  Please note that this fabric will soften over time with h
