The Joa by Merchant & Mills is a simple, fully lined wrap top with side ties, designed to be worn on its own or layered as a gilet during the cooler months. With its clean silhouette and versatile construction, Joa can be made using pre-quilted fabric, custom-quilted fabric or non-quilted woven fabrics.
