Not Just a Crop Top: the Memories Behind This Wings Hawaii Style

Not Just a Crop Top: the Memories Behind This Wings Hawaii Style

Posted by Ashley de Coligny on

We’ve grown up (kind of) and so have our designs. A more elevated version of our humble beginnings, these tops are still made with vintage aloha fabric, and feature wide, flattering ties with an open back. A blast from the past, but made timeless.

Dances With Whales: Meet Real-Life Mermaid Tara Timpone

Dances With Whales: Meet Real-Life Mermaid Tara Timpone
