LIVING CRAFTS PRIS MULTI mélange long-sleeve in organic cotton
For anyone who loves color but doesn't feel like spending hours in the morning figuring out combinations: this is PRIS MULTI. In this mélange women's long-sleeve from Living Crafts, green, petrol, ochre yellow, rust brown, and blue crisscross one another. This allows the shirt to magically find the perfect color match for almost any pair of solid-colored trousers.
PRIS MULTI is made of 100% organic cotton in a supple interlock rib quality. The shirt has a simple round neckline, long sleeves, and a slim fit. The unique fabric does all the work; this colorful long-sleeve needs no further embellishments at all.

Not an ordinary stripe and not a printed design
The multi-colored effect of PRIS MULTI is inherent in the fabric itself. The design is therefore not printed onto the shirt as a smooth image. Different colors are blended together in the knit, creating fine horizontal color lines and a vibrant mélange texture.
From a distance, the colors flow into one another. Up close, you will constantly discover new shades. At times, the petrol green stands out, while in different light, the ochre yellow, blue, or warm rust brown come more to the foreground.
That makes PRIS MULTI colorful, but not loud. The narrow lines and dark undertones keep the overall look subtle enough for daily wear.
What color trousers should you wear with PRIS MULTI?
The easy part about a mélange long-sleeve is that you don't need to match just one specific color. Thanks to the many nuances, PRIS MULTI can be combined with a remarkably large number of different trousers and skirts.
- Dark brown brings out the warm rust and ochre tones.
- Dark blue and denim enhance the cooler blue colors.
- Petrol or dark green create a calm tone-on-tone look.
- Black lets all colors speak more clearly.
- Camel, sand, and ecru make the combination lighter and softer.
In the product photo, PRIS MULTI is paired with dark brown trousers. This nicely shows how the warm and cool tones in the shirt converge. With a pair of jeans, the look becomes slightly sportier and more casual.
A long-sleeve for multiple seasons
PRIS MULTI is not a thick knitted sweater, but a cotton shirt with long sleeves. This allows you to wear it in many different ways. In spring and autumn, it is perfect as a standalone top layer. During winter, it can be worn under a cardigan or jacket, and it comes in handy again on a cool summer evening.
Because cotton breathes well and can absorb moisture, the fabric feels pleasant when you move between warmer and cooler rooms during the day. The shirt contains no wool, making it suitable for people who prefer not to wear animal fibers.
For true winter warmth, PRIS MULTI is less insulating than a woolen long-sleeve. See it primarily as a comfortable base layer that has more character than a solid-colored shirt.
How does the PRIS MULTI long-sleeve fit?
Living Crafts describes the fit as slim fit. PRIS MULTI therefore follows the lines of the body and fits tighter than a straight or loose-fitting T-shirt. In the photos, the shirt is fitted at the shoulders and sleeves, while some space remains around the waist.
Choose your usual size if you like a fitted silhouette. Are you between two sizes, do you have a fuller bust, or do you prefer your shirts a bit looser around the belly and waist? Then the larger size might be more comfortable.
When trying it on, make sure the fabric doesn't pull tight under the armpits, across the upper arms, or at the chest. The seams at the shoulders should sit roughly at the edge of your own shoulders.
Due to the ribbed structure, the fabric gives slightly when worn, but PRIS MULTI contains no elastane. It therefore does not have the same stretch and recovery as a synthetic stretch shirt.
What is interlock rib?
Interlock is a knitted cotton fabric that is neatly finished on both sides. This version also features a fine ribbed structure. This gives PRIS MULTI a slightly firmer and fuller feel than a very thin, smooth cotton shirt, while the material still drapes softly around the body.
The texture makes the many colors extra visible and gives the shirt a tactile character. The material may temporarily wrinkle after sitting or wearing, as is normal for pure cotton without synthetic additives.
100% organic cotton and completely vegan
PRIS MULTI is made of 100% organic cotton and contains no wool, silk, or other animal fibers. The entire product is also labeled as vegan by Living Crafts.
The shirt is GOTS-certified. This certification sets requirements for the organic origin and processing of the cotton fibers. Additionally, there are rules within the production chain regarding the use of chemicals, wastewater, and social labor conditions.
PRIS MULTI is produced for Living Crafts at Imperial Garments Limited in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, India.
Does the color stay exactly the same?
With a fabric in which so many different colored threads come together, the appearance can change significantly depending on the light. Your screen settings also influence how green, blue, or warm the long-sleeve appears.
As with all colored cotton clothing, the shades may eventually soften slightly through wear and washing. This is not a defect, but a normal part of the aging process for dyed cotton. By washing the shirt no more often than necessary, the vibrant look will be preserved longer.
How to wash PRIS MULTI
Wash the long-sleeve inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees with similar colors. Preferably choose a mild cycle and use only a small amount of liquid detergent for colored laundry. Too much detergent is harder to rinse out of the structured fabric and is not necessary to get the shirt clean.
Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and do not put PRIS MULTI in the dryer. High temperatures and a dryer can cause cotton to shrink and make the colors fade faster.
Gently reshape the shirt after washing and let it air dry. According to the wash label, ironing is allowed at a medium temperature. Preferably iron on the inside so that the texture and colors remain as beautiful as possible.
