This knit is made to order -- please allow up to 10 days for it to be created.

Refined yet unconventional, the Mandragora Top is a masterclass in subtle allure. Its lightweight, navy knit is sculpted into a cropped silhouette, softened by elongated front and back panels that create graceful movement. A delicate knitted bow sits at the base of the short turtleneck, while black velvet ribbon loops through the center front—adjustable to suit the wearer’s mood, whether fully fastened or left slightly open. 

The extra-long flared sleeves, pleated for added sophistication, bring a sense of grace, while the looped velvet ribbon at the cuffs allows them to be opened for both style and ease of movement. Intricate, versatile, and effortlessly elegant, the Mandragora Top is a statement in texture and form.

Knitted from GOTS cotton | We recommend hand washing your knit to keep it in optimal condition

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. 

FAQs

How long does it take to receive my piece?

Each piece is made to order in our atelier and is typically ready for dispatch within 10 days or less.


Do you offer custom sizing?

Yes, we offer complimentary custom sizing (for most pieces) to ensure a perfect fit, with no additional production time.


What if I order the wrong size?

We offer free exchanges & returns for our EU/UK customers, including for custom pieces. Due to limited fabric availability, we recommend taking care when submitting custom measurements.


Will this be restocked?

We often work with limited-run or deadstock fabrics, so availability is extremely limited. Once sold out, this design may not return.


Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship worldwide.

For orders outside the UK and EU, return shipping isn’t covered. However, you’re welcome to return your item using your own courier for a full refund.


Will I be charged customs fees?

No, all customs duties and import fees are covered on our side, so there are no additional charges on delivery.


Is this suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, our pieces are designed to be both visually striking and wearable, with comfort in mind.


Where is your clothing made?

All pieces are crafted in our atelier in Galati, Romania, by a talented team of all-women artisans, with a focus on detail, quality, and craftsmanship.


Is your production sustainable?

We choose to work with organic, deadstock, recycled & upcycled fabrics, meaning each piece is part of a limited, conscious production run.


Will my piece look exactly like the product images?

Each piece is crafted in limited fabric runs. If a new fabric variation is being used, this will always be clearly shown on the product page, with an updated image and note for full transparency. If no variation is noted, the piece will match the fabric shown in the main product images.


Where can I find shipping & returns information?

You can find full details in our Shipping & Returns tab.
