The Solace Top

The Solace Top is a quiet ode to stillness – a wearable reflection of calm, inspired by the silent beauty of undisturbed waters. As part of Kara Kora’s PAUSE collection, this top captures the essence of taking a moment to breathe, slow down, and reconnect.

Made in soft, breathable cotton Lycra, it’s designed to move gently with your body – offering ease, comfort, and quiet strength. The hand-drawn abstract print evokes ripples and reflections on water, rendered in moody indigos and whites. With a soft V-neck in the front, high neck at the back, and drawstring ruching on the sides, the Solace Top allows you to shape it to your mood – cinched and cropped or relaxed and free-flowing.

• Inspired by still waters: A print that mirrors serenity, rhythm, and reflection
• Adjustable fit: Side drawstrings for a customizable length and silhouette
• Elevated basics: Clean cap sleeves and subtle tailoring for everyday elegance
• Breathable comfort: Stretch cotton Lycra that feels like a second skin

• Mood-adaptive styling: Dress it up with high-rise trousers or down with drawstring pants
• Transitional layering: Light enough to wear on its own, yet works under jackets or over dresses
• Travel-ready: Wrinkle-friendly, breathable, and perfect for changing climates
• Seasonless appeal: Works seamlessly across seasons with just a few styling tweaks

Bucket Wash Only: Fill a clean bucket with cold or lukewarm water. Ensure the water level is just enough to fully submerge the garment without overfilling. Gently submerge the garment, making sure the water covers it up to about 30% of the garment's length. Do not leave the garment sitting in the water for a long period of time.

Use Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent, preferably one designed for delicate fabrics or color-safe care. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage both the print and the fabric.

Gentle Agitation: Gently agitate the water and garment to remove dirt. Do not wring or scrub the fabric, as this can distort both the print and the fabric’s texture.

Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the garment thoroughly with clean, cold water to remove any detergent residue.

Drying:

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Lay the garment flat or hang it to dry upside down, with the printed side facing away from direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colors to fade over time.
• Partial Sunlight: If drying outside, choose a shaded area with indirect sunlight to ensure the colors remain vibrant and the fabric does not weaken.

Do Not Machine Wash: Avoid machine washing, as it can cause unnecessary stress on the fabric and print, potentially leading to fading or fabric distortion.

Avoid Ironing Directly on Prints: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and always place a cloth or protective layer between the iron and the print to prevent damage to the design.
