‘Hawa’ means air/breeze in Nepali. Born out of childhood memories of running around chasing dragonflies in the sun, the Hawa top was designed to be a good luck charm that brings more lightness and joy into our lives.

DETAILS
Hawa is a wearable piece of art. It is designed, handcrafted, and shipped directly by the artist themselves.
Visually, it draws inspiration from butterfly and dragonfly wings, morphing them together to create iridescent ones that hug and wrap around the body. The braided ties allow the wearer to adjust the fit and tightness exactly to their liking.
AVAILABILITY
Production will be carried out in batches of extremely limited quantities. This is a limited edition item and only 24 Hawa tops will be available for purchase in total. If the product has been marked as ‘Out Of Stock’, please check the artist’s socials for announcements on when the next batch is getting released. If it has been marked as ‘Sold Out’, then no more batches will be released.
Due to limited capacity, Hawa is available only in size S.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Hawa is a delicate garment, as it involves an organza fabric that contains loose threads by nature as well as raw denim edges. As such, it is highly recommended to hand wash only and to let it air dry flat. You may then wish to use an iron on the lowest temperature setting to remove any wrinkles, particularly along the edges of the wings.
Overtime, the raw denim edges will naturally result in some loose threads. Simply trim off the excess as necessary. This is particularly important to do after the first wash - although somewhat tedious, it will make a big impact on the overall appearance (think of it as Hawa’s first haircut).
Please note that there will be minor variations in the floral pattern placement. Great care is taken to work with the organza and to drape the pattern pieces when crafting each Hawa top to ensure the highest quality.
