MASSAI Minoray Black Stretch Lambskin Leather Top on Silk Organza

MASSAI is one of the defining constructions of the Jitrois House, crafted using the signature Minoray technique.

Composed of fine strips of stretch lambskin leather, each element is cut, folded at the edges and assembled by hand directly on the mannequin onto a silk organza base, following the natural lines of the body. The volume is not added, but generated through construction, allowing the silhouette to emerge directly on the body with precision and continuity.

The disciplined layering of the strips follows the body’s lines, naturally pre-shaping the bust and stabilising the silhouette while preserving full freedom of movement. The structure remains flexible, never rigid, maintaining the sensation of a second skin.

The silk organza base introduces lightness and breathability, allowing the construction to remain both sculptural and wearable. At the back, a stretch panel ensures comfort and adaptability, while a tone-on-tone zip provides a clean and precise closure.

The high neckline extends the vertical axis and frees the shoulders through the American armhole, reinforcing the architectural clarity of the silhouette.

MASSAI functions as a structured second skin — sculptural yet living — where couture technique meets immediate bodily presence. On its own, it asserts a precise, controlled presence, in evenings and moments where the silhouette takes focus.
