W5437 Top - Black Crop Crumpled Jacquard Faux Leather Effect Oversized Collar Tulle Sleeves and Back Women's Italian

Faux Leather in Front. Tulle Behind. Nothing Expected.

The W5437 is a crop top built from two fabrics in deliberate opposition. The front body is crumpled jacquard with a faux leather effect — 90% polyester, 9% polyamide, 1% elastane — a woven fabric with a permanently set crumple and a surface that reads as leather without being it. The sleeves and back are stretch tulle — 90% polyester, 10% elastane — sheer, airy, and entirely different in weight and character. An oversized collar completes the picture: a collar that is larger than the crop top beneath it, creating a proportion that is deliberately off. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Top Is Different

• Crumpled Jacquard with Faux Leather Effect: 90% polyester, 9% polyamide, 1% elastane — a jacquard fabric with a permanently set crumple and a surface treatment that creates a faux leather appearance. Unlike standard faux leather, the jacquard construction means the surface has texture and depth — the crumple creates variation in the surface that catches light differently at every angle. The 1% elastane ensures the fabric moves with the body without cracking or distorting the crumple.
• Stretch Tulle Sleeves and Back: 90% polyester, 10% elastane — the sleeves and back panel are constructed entirely in stretch tulle, creating a sheer, airy contrast to the solid, textured jacquard front. From the front, the top reads as structured and opaque; from the back, it is entirely transparent.
• Oversized Collar: A collar that is deliberately larger than the crop top beneath it — creating a proportion that challenges the scale of the garment. The oversized collar frames the face and neck while the crop body sits at the waist.
• Crop Length: The top is cut to sit at the waist — the oversized collar and the crop length create a deliberate proportion tension: large above, minimal below.
• Front/Back Contrast: The front reads as structured, textured, and opaque (jacquard); the back reads as sheer and transparent (tulle). Two entirely different garments, front and back.
• Made in Italy: Two-fabric construction, crumpled jacquard finishing, and oversized collar pattern all completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The jacquard front catches the light immediately — the crumple creates variation in the surface, the faux leather effect adding depth and texture that reads as more expensive than it is. The oversized collar frames the face and neck with a proportion that is deliberately wrong in the best possible way: too large for the crop body beneath it, too considered to be accidental.

Turn around, and the top becomes something else entirely. The tulle back is sheer — the body visible through the stretch mesh, the sleeves transparent from shoulder to wrist. From the front, structured and opaque. From the back, open and transparent. The same top, two completely different readings.

The Art of Crumpled Jacquard

Jacquard is a woven fabric with a pattern built into the weave structure rather than printed onto the surface — the pattern is created by the interlacing of threads at different heights, creating a fabric with texture and depth. In the W5437, the jacquard is crumpled — a finishing technique where the fabric is permanently set into a crumpled texture during production. The crumple creates variation in the surface that catches light differently at every angle, and the faux leather surface treatment adds a smooth, slightly reflective quality to the raised areas of the crumple. The result is a fabric that reads as leather from a distance but reveals its woven, textured nature up close — a material that rewards examination.

How to Wear It

• With High-Waisted Trousers: Wear with high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the crop length sits at the waist, the oversized collar frames the face, the tulle sleeves visible above the waistband.
• With a Midi Skirt: Wear with a high-waisted midi skirt — the jacquard front and oversized collar create a complete editorial look above the waistband.
• Under a Coat: Wear under an open coat — the oversized collar visible above the lapels, the tulle sleeves visible at the wrists.
• Alone, Statement: Wear alone with high-waisted trousers or a skirt — the front/back contrast and oversized collar make the W5437 a complete look without additional pieces.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold or machine wash on delicate cycle
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve the crumpled jacquard texture and tulle structure
• Do not iron the jacquard front — heat will flatten the crumple and damage the faux leather surface
• Do not iron the tulle sleeves and back — heat will damage the polyester mesh
• Steam only at low temperature if needed
• Do not bleach
• Store flat or hung — avoid folding along the crumpled jacquard to prevent permanent crease marks
