CHOKER CROP TOP

- CARE GUIDE
Minimalism meets ritual adornment in the Choker Crop Top, a sculpted silhouette that blurs the line between everyday ease and ceremonial detail. Cut from East African rain-fed cotton jersey, this long-sleeved beige crop top is dyed using GOTS-certified, low-impact dyes, offering a buttery-soft touch and breathable comfort.
At the neckline, hand-applied upcycled brass sequins form a modern-day choker—crafted from salvaged post-consumer metal like padlocks and sinks. Every sequin is individually shaped and hand-stitched, allowing the collar to catch the light like armor for the soul.
Designed for the expressive minimalist, the Choker Crop Top balances clean lines with intentional ornamentation. Wear it alone or layered—it is a versatile staple that speaks softly, but with unmistakable power.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your order to dispatch. International shipping via DHL Express with tracking.

From Scrap to Statement
Post-USE Metal, Reimagined
We work with Kenyan artisans to collect discarded sinks, padlocks, and other salvaged metals, melting them down and hand-casting them into one-of-a-kind buttons and adornments inspired by indigenous rocks, flora, and coral textures.
Artisan-Cast in Nairobi
Every Piece Uniquely Moulded
Each metal component is poured and carved by hand in small-batch processes, meaning no two embellishments are ever the same—imbuing every piece with texture, story, and a bold, low-impact finish.
