Madmela Top

The Madmela Top is a blush mauve cropped workwear top for women — a clean, boxy short-sleeve cut in a soft dusty mauve, elevated by one detail that makes it impossible to overlook.

Shell buttons run diagonally from the shoulder to all the way down — asymmetric, tonal, and deliberately placed. They turn a simple cropped top into something with a design identity. The colour amplifies the effect: that muted blush-lavender sits against shell buttons beautifully.

The silhouette is boxy and cropped, hitting above the hip. It is the kind of cut that works harder than it looks — structured enough to tuck neatly over high-waisted trousers without bunching, relaxed enough to sit cleanly over a skirt, and proportioned to layer under a blazer without adding bulk. The round crew neckline is clean and unfussy, framing the collarbone without plunging or pulling. Short sleeves keep the top versatile across seasons — cool enough for India’s warmer months, layerable enough for air-conditioned offices in any season.

The colour is a soft, dusty mauve with the faintest lavender undertone — sitting between blush, grey, and purple in a way that reads differently depending on the light. In a sunlit room it leans warm. Under office lighting it leans cooler. It photographs beautifully against Indian skin tones and pairs with a wider range of bottoms than a standard neutral would — black, camel, charcoal, white, denim, and olive all work without effort.

Style it with:

• The Madmela Trouser for the full co-ord look
• High-waisted wide-leg trousers in black, charcoal, or camel — the mauve pairs with everything
• Our Cinnamon Slit skirt with a sleek bun for a high fashion look
• Straight-leg denim and loafers for a smart casual Friday outfit
• A blazer layered over for cooler offices or more formal settings

The Madmela Top. One detail. All the difference.
