The Cissé Top
$96
Inspired by Our Founder
The DIOP Top, made of 100% wax print cotton, is the origin of our company. It is inspired by the beautiful custom shirts 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.
Print Details
Featuring a bold combination of primary tones, golden motifs, and an eye-catching asymmetrical pattern, this is an imposing statement piece to add to your wardrobe. Though a prominent part of the pattern, the pink functions best as an accent, so look to help it pop in pairing.

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.
