Learn moreThe Tilko Shirt Dress, an ELK classic, is reimagined in the vibrant seasonal Elodi Print, crafted on durable French linen. This versatile midi dress transitions seamlessly from work to weekend, featuring a button-through front, comfortable cap sleeves, functional side seam pockets, and a self-fabric belt. The bold Elodi Print effortlessly complements both neutral and bold colours. For a different style, wear it open as a robe over your favourite denim.
The Elodi Print is a yardage print and the print placement will vary on each garment, making each piece unique.
100% French Linen
Linen is a light, breathable fabric that is durable and strong. It wrinkles easily which is part of its appeal, it is easy to care for and becomes softer with age and wear.
Linen is a natural plant fibre, grown from the flax plant. The crop itself is naturally pest-resistant and requires minimal water to grow, meaning it demands fewer resources than crops such as conventionally-grown cotton.
Linen grown in France follows more traditional methods of growing and processing. For example, the crop is stripped back to prepare it for textiles using a dew-retting process. Dew-retting makes use of natural sunlight and dew to soften the crop, rather than using intensive chemical or water processes.

In early 2024, the Jimmy had solar panels installed on the rooftop of the factory, to help provide renewable energy for their operations. The factory also undergoes annual SMETA social compliance audits, which are conducted by a third party and provide transparency into worker wellbeing and wages.
We have been sourcing our linen fabric from Tongling Worldbest for many years. This fabric mill is certified under the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances.
