The Black Star Cape design is a bespoke handmade accessory that adds detail and embellishments to the wearer's back with a webbed aesthetic made from geometric belts. The design strays from the conventional notion of a cape with a fabric-free aesthetic made exclusively from thin leather straps. The overall design adds [modular shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius) to the wearer's back.

The adjustable cape features a series of thin leather straps that come together in cross sections to form a large web design. The wearer's back shines through on the spaces between the web's outline, becoming a part of the overall design. The cape hooks onto the wearer with connecting arm pieces, adding dimension to open-backed shirts or dresses. This would be a great piece to use for [layering to add a bohemian vibe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-beams-boy).
