Kaiya Cotton-Blend Dress

Founded in 2016 by designer Marina Cortbawi, Brooklyn-based Merlette thoughtfully crafts its garments from all natural, high-quality materials (cotton, wools and silks) with bespoke finishes — perfect for building a timeless wardrobe.

The KAIYA Top, rendered in a cotton blend yarn-dyed navy stripe fabric, is a poetic marriage of structure and fluidity. Its asymmetrical pleats, detailed by precise delicate curved topstitching, create a dynamic interplay of lines, giving the piece a modern architectural edge. Long balloon sleeves with elasticized wrists add a touch of soft romanticism, enhancing the overall silhouette, while its elastic neckline offers the versatility to be worn on or off the shoulder.

The KAIYA is a refined yet effortless timeless addition to any wardrobe that is perfect for casual weekends or evening soirees.
