Magda Butrym t-shirts: the knotted tee, the draped cape tee and the Warszawa 2014 sweatshirt

Posted by author-avatar

The t-shirt is the least expensive way into Magda Butrym, and the house treats it like a dress: a knot gathered at the side seam to pull in the waist, a draped cape falling from the shoulder, a lace hem. 29 t-shirts, longsleeves and sweatshirts on Coveti, $750 to $2,230, median $1,290, 17 of them knotted. This page covers each shape, the fabrics, which ones run oversized, and how to care for jersey that holds a knot. Shop the Magda Butrym collection at Coveti, compare every designer top and t-shirt, and read the knotted top story.

The knotted t-shirt

The knotted t-shirt is the house best seller in jersey: a short-sleeved tee with a knot tied at the side seam, which gathers the waist and lifts the hem at one side. The ribbed version is cotton with 5% elastane and fits close; the autumn winter 2026 version is a plain cotton jersey in navy and a cotton blend in grey. The Pre-Fall 2026 red and navy blue are a cotton with Brewed Protein fibre, a lab-grown protein yarn that gives the jersey a soft, slightly heavy drape. The knotted top story explains where the shape comes from.

The knotted longsleeves

The same knot on long sleeves. The jersey blouses are cotton with elastane in grey, and the cotton and Brewed Protein version in navy and red; the wool longsleeves, in brown, grey and orange, are fine knit pure wool and sit between a t-shirt and a sweater. These are the pieces to wear under a blazer.

The draped cape t-shirt

The t-shirt with a draped cape has a panel of jersey falling from the shoulders over the back, so it reads as a top for evening while washing like a tee. It comes in cream and dark green organic cotton with Brewed Protein fibre, and as a sweatshirt in grey. The capes guide covers the wool capes it echoes.

The Warszawa 2014 sweatshirt

The sweatshirt carries the city and the year the house was founded, 2014, across the chest. It is the one logo piece in the collection, cotton with elastane in blue and a cotton with polyamide in grey. The cotton sweatshirt polos, in blue, light brown and light grey, add a collar. Who is Magda Butrym? tells the founding story.

How to wear them

The knotted tee in black with the leather pencil skirt and a kitten heel; the ribbed tee in cream with straight-leg denim; the cape tee in dark green with tailored trousers for dinner; the sweatshirt over a slip dress. The tops guide and the denim guide have the pairings.

Fit and care

The ribbed knotted tee fits close; the plain jersey tees fit true; the lace detail t-shirt is cut oversized. Wash the cotton jersey cold, inside out, and dry it flat so the knot keeps its gather; untie the knot before washing. Hand wash the wool longsleeves cold and dry flat.
