Kinga Csilla | Deserted Dragon Tommy Tee - Black
The print that built the brand — now on the tee you'll wear until it falls apart.
The Deserted Dragon is one of Kinga Csilla's most beloved hand-drawn motifs, and here it lands exactly where it belongs: across the chest of a heavy, stonewashed cotton tee in a deep, faded charcoal that looks like it's already lived a full life before you put it on. Two mirrored dragons face each other in warm amber, rust and gold, the detail dense and deliberate in the way only hand-drawn artwork can be. Kinga Csilla's name arcs above and below in bold hand-lettered script, and the sleeves carry a repeating swirl-and-scroll motif that makes the whole thing feel more considered — more like a piece of art on a canvas than a garment on a rack.
The Tommy Tee is relaxed through the body without being shapeless — a boxy, long-sleeve silhouette that sits easy on the shoulders with a dropped-shoulder seam and room to move. The stonewash process does something irreversible to the cotton: it softens it from the first wear, takes the sharpness off the black, and gives the whole piece a worn-in quality that can't be manufactured. It can leave small surface abrasions or occasional light holes. Those aren't flaws — they're part of the wabi sabi character of the garment, and they'll only deepen over time.
Style Advise: Wear with the Tala Balloon Pant for a tonal, relaxed set — the faded charcoal and warm earth tones of the dragon print read beautifully against the Tala's relaxed silhouette. Also strong with simple wide-leg denim, bare feet and your best jewellery. Stack chunky stone or shell pieces at the neck to play into the artwork, and let the tee do the rest. This one is made to be lived in — wear it until it wears back.
Fit Advise: Relaxed boxy fit — the Tommy Tee is designed to sit easy through the body without tailoring. We recommend ordering your usual size for the intended fit. Studio model is 179cm tall with a 79cm bust, 62cm waist and 90cm hips, and wears a size Small.
