Walcott Matisse Polo

Part of the VW x Chakras x Paintings Series, this upcycled large, women's, Ralph Lauren, short-sleeved polo in cherry red has been hand-painted inspired by Henri Matisse's painting The Red Studio, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Fall 1911. 

It is said that wearing red and red tones can be a way to enhance one's root chakra.  Your root chakra aids in your sense of belonging, your sense of focus and presence, your drive to live, and your ability to take care of yourself.  When your root chakra is balanced you feel energetic and ready for the world.  So you can let this shirt be your new lucky one when it comes to feeling grounded, stable, safe and secure. 

If you need a reminder, a little 396 Hz, the frequency of the root chakra, which can be very healing to listen to, is on the left side of the shirt, at the chalk-like horizon line.  And for the Vampire Weekend fan, there's the iconic nod surrounding the portrait of the man on the left side: "The Holy Roman Empire roots for you."  So if Walcott is one of your favorite songs, this just might be the perfect shirt for you.

100% cotton, machine washable, gentle cycle and line drying recommended.
