The single-layer Hopper is our first and most popular model. It will be a perfect companion for your everyday life, and when combined with a more formal outfit, it will be perfect for any holiday as well.
The double-layer Hopper has a more expressive, more prominent structure, and at the same time is a little more ornate. We recommend choosing it when you want to create a festive image.
The large Hopper is longer than the others, so it is perfect for emphasizing the vertical lines or for filling the neckline of the jacket/vest.
