Over 1,000 shells and beads, each one stitched by hand over a cotton base. The Ara Dress honours the shell and bead -craft tradition found across coastal West Africa, worked by Kíléntár's artisans into a halter-neck silhouette with an open back cut-out. Available in Regular (62 inches) and Tall (64 inches) lengths. WEIGHT: This dress weighs approximately 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) — the weight of more than 1,000 hand-stitched shells and beads. It hangs and moves with real presence, and is noticeably heavier than it appears in photography. FABRIC CARE: Dry clean only, to protect the shells and Beads. Han
