Story

A choker of open-lattice straw at the throat, and three woven discs across the chest worked in tight coiled spirals. Two weave densities in one piece. The halter is cut high with the shoulders bare, and the dress falls close to the floor.
Craftsmanship

Paja toquilla is the straw of the Ecuadorian coast, split from the young leaves of the toquilla palm and woven by hand in the towns around Montecristi. The same fibre has been worked there for generations into the finest hats in the world. GALAP sets it into cloth. Each panel is woven to the shape of the garment it will join, then cut and sewn in our New York atelier. No two weaves are identical; the variation is the signature of the hand.
Materials

Odessa crepe, 98% polyester / 2% spandex. Natural fine-fibre hand-woven paja toquilla.
