Its simple design allows for this piece to be the must-have for anybody's wardrobe. I especially love this piece because it makes me look dressed up even when I'm wearing jeans as bottoms. The pleats on the bodice was what grabbed my attention at first, because it just adds to the look. The durability of the cotton material was also what gravitated me – the texture and quality of the material is just so sturdy that you can feel the handcrafted touch of the Ibus who made these pieces through a slow process. This piece is undoubtedly my go-to top!
I was initially hesitant about the Crop Tee because of its cropped silhouette (my body does not usually look good in cropped tops) but this one somehow is different. I was hooked from the moment that I tried it on; and finally got my first Crop Tee in Mama Kapas! The fabric is really soft and the uber cute embroidery just adds a simple but eye-catching touch. Really satisfied with this purchase and looking forward to seeing the Crop Tee in other colors!
Dear Miranda,
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so happy to hear that you love this Crop Tee and I do agree that this MAMA KAPAS one is the absolute cutest! Neng Iren did such a great job with the embroidery and although it is quite small, it just adds something so cute and pretty to a look.
We're also so happy to hear that you are comfortable with the silhouette and the fabric, it's so important to us that our pieces are something that you can wear everyday so your words means a lot :) Hope that our Ibus can continue to be a part of your day Miranda!
Im not sure why no one is reviewing this crop tee yet because I am literally obsessed with it. On a first glance it might look a little “plain” compared to other tops with more exciting colors and patters but truly, dont sleep on this one.
The details of this tee are far from boring - the different textures, the cuffed sleeves, the side slits, and the high low cut (I usually dont like high-low tops but this time i have no complaints) - all these things really add to the tee. This is the perfect “grown-up tee” that is a few steps up from your generic white tees that you can just put on and you know it’ll look good on you every single time.
Such a beautiful piece from the Ibus and kudos to the Sukkhacitta team for the wonderful design and amazing customer service as always. 🤍

Dear Devina,
Thank you so very much for the beautiful review. We are happy to hear that you love this crop tee as much as we do! This pieces is so very special to our hearts, taking the Ibus more than 6 months to create it (starting from planting the cotton to sewing it all together). So we're so excited to know that you are obsessed with this piece :)
And we agree that it really is so simple, but we also find that the different textures and little details do add something so beautiful to the piece. Love how you said it's the perfect “grown-up tee” because it really is! Still sophisticated and elegant, but fun as well. And of course, nothing makes us happier to know that it makes you look and feel good every single time you wear it.
We are so grateful for your kind words and encouragement Devina, and especially so grateful that you've allowed our Ibus to be part of your story ❤️
