Everything on this page is St. Agni, so the only real question is which piece to order and at what price. The range runs from Organic cotton-jersey tank at $140 to Belted wool sweatshirt at $440, across 16 pieces. Most of the line is cotton, which is what you are really choosing when you compare two pieces at the same price. If you are buying one thing, start at the bottom of the range and only move up when the fabric and finishing genuinely changes.

Shoulder seam first, everything else second. A top that fits the shoulder can be taken in anywhere else. The jump from $140 to $440 buys fabric and finishing, not a different idea, so decide how often you will actually wear it before you pay the top of the range. Organic cotton-jersey tank softens and relaxes after a wash, which is the version to buy if you want it to feel worn in rather than new.

Buy Backless wool-blend top at $295. It sits in the middle of the range, and the middle is where you stop noticing any improvement in fabric and finishing. Organic cotton-jersey tank at $140 is the sensible first purchase if you have never owned one and are not sure how often you will wear it. Belted wool sweatshirt at $440 is the one to skip unless you already know the brand suits you, because at that price it needs the right thing underneath. Judge it on the shoulder seam. A top that fits the shoulder can be altered anywhere else, and one that does not never really recovers.
