Magea joins the words for magic and earth, two things that we are used to think of as opposite, but I believe they have a lot in common. Magea top is a manifestation of both, creating magic with materia, a beautiful manifestation of both color and composition.

Drawing inspiration from the very root of crochet as I see it, and translating it to the contemporary is what Magea is all about. Make it as a bralette or as a versatile cami, with as many colors as you like, it is your everyday summertime companion and beyond.
