Product Insights & Style Tips

Mbare Stone Torso - 11" exudes a quiet, museum-to-moment presence. The female form is hand carved in serpentine stone, its planes catching light with a tactile, earthward glow. The Shona of Zimbabwe, literally the house of stone, are revered for sculptural mastery, and this piece carries that lineage into a modern interior. Statues are hand-carved with simple chisels, polished with sand and beeswax, and heated on a fire to bring out brilliant colors that deepen with each viewing.

At 11 inches tall, it anchors a shelf, console, or pedestal with gravity and grace. The torso’s clean, unembellished silhouette invites quiet study, while the serpentine stone’s natural depth lends warmth and texture. It layers easily with wood, ceramics, or greenery, and its compact scale travels well between rooms or seasons without feeling crowded.

Artist James Chidzenga brings Zimbabwe’s sculptural tradition into contemporary spaces, and this maker is PBP Verified, following Powered by People’s sustainability standards. Made in Zimbabwe, the Mbare Stone Torso stands as a modern heirloom that nods to heritage craft while living easily in today’s rooms.

Miyawaki Sakura’s Oversized Jacket and Sheer Tights Combo – Get The Look

Miyawaki Sakura of LE SSERAFIM knows exactly how to make one black jacket carry an entire outfit. The singer stepped into a glossy high collar leather look that feels sharp, simple, and very on the pulse, with an oversized jacket layered over black micro shorts, sheer tights, and a belt with a bold gold buckle. It is the kind of outfit that hits the current celebrity style sweet spot, polished enough for a night out and stripped back enough to feel believable off camera. The shape does most of the work here. The jacket sits big through the shoulders and body, the shorts keep the styling compact, and the tights make the whole thing feel more intentional than a standard leather on leather pairing.
