WOMEN'S MARCEL TOP IN PIMA COTTON AND ELASTANE
The Marcel Top is our new interpretation of the classic marcel for our women's line. A Pima cotton and elastane tank top, made in Portugal, designed with a shorter, more fitted cut, closer to the skin.
It embodies the spirit of the signature Tricots Marcel marcel—the beautiful basic, intimacy, freedom of style—in a more contemporary version, to be worn alone or as an undergarment. A seemingly simple piece, precise in its cut, an everyday essential.
A NEW INTERPRETATION OF THE SIGNATURE MARCEL
The marcel is a unique piece. First utilitarian, then iconic, it transcends styles without ever losing its strength: a simple cut, free shoulders, an immediate presence. At Tricots Marcel, it's not just a basic. It's a second skin, a symbol of free intimacy, a piece worn for oneself as much as for the look it creates.
With the Marcel Top, we extend this heritage into a shorter, more fitted women's line. It doesn't replace the signature marcel; it offers an alternative interpretation. Closer to the body and more minimal in its presence, it perfectly complements everyday silhouettes.
A top to wear alone, under an open shirt, under a jacket, with high-waisted jeans, a skirt, wide-leg trousers, or knitwear. A discreet piece, but never neutral.
A WOMEN'S TANK TOP, WITHOUT LIMITING ITS WEAR
The Marcel Top belongs to our women's line because its cut, proportions, and wearability were developed with this in mind: a shorter length, a more fitted line, a flexible knit that moves with the body.
But at Tricots Marcel, a garment never dictates an identity. It suggests a style. The Marcel Top is presented in the women's wardrobe, while retaining the freedom that is part of our brand: everyone wears it as they wish, according to their figure, their desire, their relationship with clothing.
It's a piece designed for a feminine, clean, and free, but never rigid, look.
THE SOFTNESS OF PIMA COTTON, THE FLEXIBILITY OF ELASTANE
The Marcel Top is made from a Pima cotton and elastane knit. Pima cotton is known for its long fibers, softness, and durability. It's a material chosen for its feel against the skin, its fineness, and its ability to maintain a beautiful appearance over time.
The addition of elastane provides flexibility and allows the top to move without rigidity. The knit follows the silhouette, naturally returns to place, and offers comfortable wear from morning to night.
It's a material designed for everyday life: soft, pleasant, close to the skin, easy to wear alone or layered.
A SHORTER, MORE FITTED CUT
The Marcel Top stands out from the signature marcel by its proportion. Its cut is shorter, more fitted, closer to the body. This makes it easy to wear with high-waisted jeans, wide-leg trousers, a skirt, or under a jacket.
The neckline remains simple and clean. The armholes clear the shoulder without forced effect. The overall line seeks balance: close enough to the body to create a precise look, flexible enough to remain natural.
It's a piece that works without overdoing it. It doesn't seek to transform the silhouette, but to complement it. It slips into the wardrobe as a reflex: the top you grab because it goes with everything, because it fits just right, because it immediately elevates your style.
MADE IN PORTUGAL, WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY
The Marcel Top is made in Portugal. We state this clearly, because the origin of manufacturing is part of a garment's truth.
This piece is not our signature marcel made in France: it is a new line, with a different material, a different cut, and different manufacturing. It retains Tricots Marcel's standards—precision, durability, quality of wear—while embracing Portuguese manufacturing.
Portugal has recognized textile expertise, particularly in the production of knit and jersey garments. For this Marcel Top, this choice allows us to work with a flexible, comfortable material adapted to this new women's cut.
At Tricots Marcel, we prefer to call things simply: a garment must be beautiful, well-made, durable, and its origin must be clear.
A PIECE TO WEAR AGAINST THE SKIN
The Marcel Top was designed to be worn close to the skin. Its softness, flexibility, and cut make it an ideal everyday piece.
In summer, it can be worn alone, with fluid trousers, shorts, a skirt, or raw denim. In mid-season, it becomes a first layer under an open shirt, a cardigan, a work jacket, or a blazer. In winter, it slips under knitwear, against the skin, as a soft and comfortable base.
This is the full strength of the marcel: a simple piece, but never secondary. A garment you almost forget because it feels so natural, yet one that immediately changes your look.
A BEAUTIFUL BASIC, FREE AND TIMELESS
The Marcel Top belongs to that family of clothes that are worn often, for a long time, and differently depending on the day. It doesn't follow a trend. It establishes a line.
Minimalist without being cold, close to the body without being restrictive, simple without being banal, it embodies the Tricots Marcel spirit: iconic, precise, sensitive basics, designed to live with you.
