The DIOP Top, made of 100% cotton, is the origin of our company, and in some ways our flagship product. It is inspired by the custom clothes our co-founder Mapate’s mother would make for him. With prints and patterns inspired by the African diaspora, our clothes are made to be dressed up and down. DIOP is proud to offer truly one-of-a-kind garments made to stand out from the crowd.

Details

Easy to wear and style, this classic black and white pattern is a reliable addition to any wardrobe. Its fine lines and intricate details shine in their simplicity, and it works with almost any color. In fact, it’s one of our few patterns that works very well with greys.

Pairing

When styling this piece, don’t worry too much about avoiding certain colors. Its versatility makes it great for layering, and it will give you the perfect excuse to wear all those gold accessories you’ve been dying to show off at once. Mix things up with a colorful sneaker or comfortable slipper, and you’re sure to be the life of any party.

How do i pronounce diop?

Because it is a very common surname, there are several pronunciations of Diop. We go by "Dee-Ahp," written and stylized as "DIOP".

Diop is a common patronym from the Cayor region of Senegal. According to Wolof oral tradition, the name actually traces its origins back to present-day Sudan among the Nuer and Dinka people, where it is totemic, referring to the Grey Crowned Crane.

Who is behind DIOP?

DIOP was founded by Evan Fried and Mapate Diop. The seed was first planted at a cookout in 2017 when Evan asked Mapate where his shirt was from. Following a successful crowdfunding campaign and completion of the Venture for America accelerator, DIOP released its first collection on September 20, 2018. You can read more about the origin of that shirt and the brand here.
