    DETAILS

    A sleek rib-knit essential - soft, polished, and designed to anchor every wardrobe with ease.

    The Darby Top in Black by Elka Collective is the ultimate refined foundation piece. Designed to work beautifully on its own or layered beneath tailoring and knitwear, it offers effortless versatility with a polished, minimalist finish.

    Crafted from a luxurious Tencel-rich rib knit blend, the fabric feels silky-soft against the skin while offering comfortable stretch and shape retention. The classic crew neckline and short sleeves keep the silhouette timeless and easy to style, while the ribbed texture adds subtle depth and a flattering close-to-body fit.

    The deep black colourway makes it endlessly wearable - perfect with denim, suiting, skirts, or layered under blazers and coats. Whether worn as a sleek standalone piece or a base layer, this is the kind of wardrobe staple you’ll return to on repeat.
