A sculptural hooded top designed to blur the line between softness and armour.

The Undara Top is crafted from soft stretch cotton and defined by its flowing panels, curved cut-outs, and intricate network of trailing ties. Contoured seam lines shape the silhouette, while contrast binding traces every edge of the garment, creating a striking graphic framework that draws the eye across the body.

Why this piece works:

• Soft stretch cotton offers comfort and ease of movement throughout the day
• Adjustable shoulder ties allow the neckline and fit to be styled higher or lower to suit your preference
• Sculptural panelling creates shape without relying on rigid structure or boning
• Curved cut-outs reveal glimpses of skin while maintaining an elegant silhouette
• Contrast binding highlights the construction of the garment and creates visual definition from every angle
• Trailing ties introduce movement and a sense of fluidity as you walk
• Oversized hood transforms the silhouette and adds a more dramatic presence

One of the most distinctive elements of the Undara Top is its extensive contrast binding. Each black edge is individually applied to the garment, a meticulous process that takes approximately five hours to complete. Rather than concealing the construction, these lines become part of the visual language of the piece itself, tracing the contours of the body and emphasising the garment's architectural shape.

The silhouette balances structure and movement. The fitted upper body creates definition through the waist and torso, while elongated ties and soft draping panels introduce fluidity and motion. The result feels simultaneously grounded, organic, and slightly otherworldly.

Designed for festivals, creative events, and everyday styling that favours individuality over convention. Pair with the matching Undara Skirt for the full silhouette, or style with wide-leg trousers, layered skirts, or textured knitwear for a more understated approach.

To preserve the shape and finish of the garment, we recommend cold hand washing and drying flat in the shade.

Made to order in our atelier in limited quantities.

Pricing

Each SOLAI piece is made to order in our own atelier in Galați, Romania, by our all-women team of skilled artisans. Learn more about the atelier →

We take pride in producing slowly, with intention — every garment is crafted with care, not mass-made. Our makers are paid living wages, and our studio is a creative haven, not a factory floor.

We work with sustainable materials, often reclaimed or recycled fabrics rerouted from landfill — because we believe in creating wearable art that respects & honours the earth that inspired it. 

When you invest in SOLAI, you're supporting:

  • Ethical, small-batch production

  • Artisan craftsmanship

  • Regenerative materials

  • A sustainable, art-rooted alternative to fast fashion

We're committed to transparency and will soon introduce Product Passports — QR codes included with each piece — that reveal the item's supply chain, so you can see exactly where, how, and by whom it was made.

Our pricing reflects the true cost of thoughtful creation.
