Cross-back strap design for all-day comfort + support
If you’re looking for a more traditional and subdued floral option, this pattern is soft on the eyes and skin. The lush, tropical color scheme gets more detailed the closer you are, the vines just as rich throughout the design as the petals that initially grab all the attention.
One size fits all

Our Brand
DIOP is the last name of one of our co-founders, Mapate Diop. You can read more about him here.
DIOP is currently based around the Detroit metro area. We were founded in the City of Detroit, and hope to return in the near future.
We do not have a physical store. All of our products are available at weardiop.com with select items available at wholesale partners including Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and Macy’s.
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.
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.
