Product Details

hira hira is a lightweight, seamless peplum top worked from the top down.

The name comes from the Japanese word “hira hira, ” describing the soft fluttering motion of something light—just like the hem of this twirly top. With a fitted yoke, a defined waistband, and a gently flared peplum, this pullover is both practical and playful. Perfect for toddlers who love to move!
