CROCHET BOLERO
- Description
- KEY FEATURES
- CARE GUIDE
This asymmetrical crochet bolero reimagines Swahili coastal craft with a modern silhouette—cropped at the front, cascading at the back. Hand-crocheted by a community of nuns in a local Kenyan church, each stitch is a quiet act of intention, devotion, and artistry.
Meticulously crocheted, this bolero gives effortless elegance, and is made to layer over slip dresses, elevate simple silhouettes, or stand on its own.
A piece that speaks of slowness and soul, of connection and craft. Designed for those who dress with meaning.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your order to dispatch.
