The Black Widow Top is inspired by one of nature's most talented weavers: the spider. At its heart is a striking handwoven spider web that is crocheted directly onto the garment while you wear it, creating a one-of-a-kind fit that is both dramatic and surprisingly fun to make. Inspired by the resilience of spiders, this design is a reminder that no matter how many times we have to rebuild, we always have the opportunity to create something beautiful.
