Some things are made to be worn once and remembered forever.
The ANKH One-Shoulder Tally Top is built on amber tulle — entirely hand-embroidered with silver Telly threads in the ancient geometric language of Upper Egypt. Dense, luminous, fluid. The kind of piece that catches light the way nothing machine-made ever does.
The construction is considered: A silk lining underneath for comfort against the skin. A longer outer tulle layer that drapes and moves. A tieable silver ribbon at the shoulder — adjustable, personal, effortlessly elegant. A side zipper for a clean, secure fit.
This is not embellishment added to a garment. The embroidery is the garment.

Tally (Tulle-bi-Telli) is Upper Egypt's 100s of years old art, about hand-threading fine metal strips through cotton mesh — one stitch at a time, by the hands of artisans who learned from their mothers, who learned from theirs.
ANKH doesn't reproduce it. We commission it — from the same regions, the same hands, using the same materials.
