Mozaika means “mosaic” in Bulgarian. Gunes is the word for “sun” in Turkish. Given that the inspiration behind this design is a tiled wall in a Hammam, or turkish bath, it just feels fitting to name it Sun Mosaic. A garment to decorate yourself with the sun. It’s a loose summer top that can be cropped or tunic length. It features a high neck at the front and a low neckline at the back. The line in the middle centers the piece over your body and there is an easy mosaic colorwork that decorates the body. #MozaikaGunesTop
