The most restrained piece in the collection. A single narrow band of straw along the strapless neckline, set on nude mesh and edged in gold cord, with iridescent crystals at intervals. Olive crepe, fitted, to the midi.

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.

Heavy crepe. Hand-woven toquilla straw on nude mesh with gold cord edging. Iridescent crystals.
