PRL x TÓPA Standing Sage Fringe Jacket

Presenting Polo Ralph Lauren x TÓPA, a continuing collaboration of the Ralph Lauren Artist in Residence program, reflecting our evolved design approach with the artisans and communities that inspire us. This collection features the artistry of wife-and-husband duo Jocy and Trae Little Sky—founders of the clothing brand TÓPA and proud members of the Oceti Sakowin (People of Seven Council Fires); Jocy is of Dakota and Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nations (MHA/Dakota), and Trae is Oglala Lakota and Stoney Nakoda. Their creations merge modern silhouettes with distinctive Indigenous cultural elements to honor and preserve ancestral traditions while reflecting the beauty and vibrancy of their Northern Plains heritage. The name TÓPA, meaning “four” in the languages of the Oceti Sakowin, symbolizes the four directions, four seasons, four stages of life, and four meaningful colors. Made with roughout sheepskin suede patinaed for a worn-in look, this unisex jacket features intricate hand-beadwork that depicts the Sage Blossom, a flower that is revered by members of the Oceti Sakowin for its ability to cleanse, sooth, and call upon ancestors. Its cascading fringe trim is a traditional detail that is both decorative and functional, allowing rainwater to shed quickly to help keep the wearer dry.
