ColorAZUL

Ships from Queens, NYC every Monday and Wednesday · Free US shipping over $100

Free 30-day returns

The one you'll wear every day.

Okamas Vida is the smallest okama: light, bright, and easy to live in. Wear Perla with a linen tank and your hair back, or Azul with a white shirt open at the collar. It layers well with a gold chain and holds its own on its own.

From Tatiana, the founder

"In the tradition behind the okama, size means something: the larger the piece, the more wisdom the woman wearing it carries. Vida, the small one, was made for young women, a celebration of life just getting started. I love that the meaning travels with it."

Details

  • Hand-woven in Colombia with glass seed beads
  • Colors: Azul (blue and navy), Perla (white and gold)
  • Overall length 14.5", with ½" of slack in the back
  • Drop: 1¾"
  • Made by hand, so each piece varies slightly from the photos

Shipping and returns

Ships from Queens, NYC every Monday and Wednesday. Free US shipping over $100. Returns within 30 days on unworn pieces.

Care

Put it on and take it off gently, and don't pull on the fringe. The weave is strong when worn and delicate when tugged. Keep away from perfume, lotion and water. Store flat in its pouch.
