Why Mais X Frida is worth it
Mais X Frida makes the easy, open-back pieces of a long Barcelona summer, plus chokers that finish an outfit on their own.
Its signature is the knit set, an open-back top with a matching skirt that works as one look. The jewelry is where it started, beaded and chain chokers made with artisans in plated brass, beads and shell, so a simple dress can carry a big statement.
