Product Overview
The Kariban Ladies' strappy tank top is a refined take on a wardrobe essential, designed specifically for professional environments that require a feminine silhouette without sacrificing durability. Constructed from a high-quality combed cotton blend, this tank top offers a superior level of smoothness that serves as an excellent canvas for custom branding. Unlike standard vests, this garment incorporates a touch of elastane to ensure it retains its shape throughout the working day, providing a consistent, professional appearance for your team.
Key Features
- Combed Cotton Jersey: The use of combed cotton ensures a softer, stronger fabric by removing shorter fibres, resulting in a premium finish that feels comfortable against the skin.
- Integrated Elastane: With 5% elastane, the fabric provides essential stretch and recovery, allowing the garment to move with the wearer and maintain its fitted shape after repeated washes.
- Feminine Design Details: Fine straps and a tailored feminine fit offer a contemporary look suitable for retail, hospitality, or promotional settings.
- Reinforced Finishes: The twin-needle finish at the hem and piping at the neckline provide structural integrity, preventing the edges from fraying or losing their form.
- Ethical Certifications: This garment is both BSCI and Oeko-Tex certified, ensuring it meets high standards for social responsibility and is free from harmful substances.
Design & Performance
Performance in a workwear context is often about how a fabric stands up to the rigours of daily wear and frequent laundering. The jersey knit of this tank top is engineered for resilience. By using a lightweight fabric, Kariban has achieved a garment that is breathable for summer months or active roles, yet substantial enough to remain opaque. The 'feminine fit' is achieved through careful panelling that follows the natural contours of the body, while the piping at the neckline ensures the garment sits flat and comfortably during movement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its delicate appearance, this tank top is fully compatible with our expert customisation services. For a classic, high-end professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for small logos or staff names on the chest area. Our team in Telford uses precision machinery to ensure the stitching is secure without compromising the elasticity of the fabric.
For larger, more vibrant designs—particularly for promotional events or brand launches—screen printing or heat transfer is an excellent choice. The smooth combed cotton surface allows for high-definition print clarity. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these processes to ensure your branding remains as durable as the garment itself.
Use Cases
This garment is highly versatile. It serves as an ideal summer uniform for staff in the health and beauty sector, a sleek base layer for hospitality uniforms, or a high-quality promotional item for fitness and wellness brands. Its refined finish also makes it suitable for corporate events where a more relaxed yet professional dress code is required.

Practical Advice
This tank top is designed with a feminine fit, which is closer to the body than a standard unisex vest. We recommend reviewing our size guide, which ranges from XS (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 18), to ensure the best fit for your team. When layering, this lightweight fabric sits smoothly under cardigans or shirts without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour of your custom-branded tank top, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Higher temperatures can degrade the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of shape over time.
Bleaching should be strictly avoided as it will damage both the fabric fibres and the vibrancy of any custom print or embroidery. To ensure the garment does not shrink or lose its fitted silhouette, do not use a tumble dryer; instead, allow the garment to air dry naturally.
When ironing, use a maximum temperature of 110°C and avoid ironing directly over any printed areas to prevent damage to the design. Finally, do not use any solvents or dry clean the garment, as these chemicals can interfere with the knit's elasticity and the adhesives used in some printing processes.
