Kraken's Embrace: Your Questions Answered
What is the Kraken's Embrace collection?
It’s our latest dark romantic collection, designed right here in London by the Snag team. We’ve gone for a custom tentacle print in deep cherry or slate grey on a black base. You can find it on our wrap dress, wrap top, mesh top, and cardigan, along with a smoky ombre mesh skirt. Everything is ethically made and comes in sizes 4-38.
What is dark romantic fashion?
Think of it as goth style with a softer, dreamy side. It’s all about those vampire ball vibes. Drama and romance without looking like a costume. Our collection hits that sweet spot with floaty skirts and mood-setting prints that work for every day.
How do I style a gothic wrap dress?
Our wrap dresses go with loads of stuff! Throw on some chunky boots for daytime polish, or dress it up with heels if you’re heading out for the evening. Since it's a full-wrap style, you can adjust it to fit your body exactly how you like, and the knee-length cut with a longer back means you’re always covered.
What should I wear with a sheer mesh top?
Layer it however feels right for you. Try wearing the mesh top under your Kraken’s Embrace Wrap Dress to add an edgy, patterned sleeve to your outfit. You can also keep it simple by popping it over a black bra or a cami to let those twisting cherry or slate tentacles really stand out. It’s all about playing with those dark tones to find a look that feels like you.
How do I care for my mesh skirt and knit cardigan?
We’ve made these to last through plenty of washes. The Kraken’s Embrace cardigan is machine washable and keeps its shape and colour perfectly. For your mesh top and ombre skirt, a gentle cool wash is best—then just lay them flat to dry so they stay as fresh as the day they arrived. Full care instructions are on the label of every garment.
What is alternative fashion?
Alternative fashion is a massive part of the soul of Snag. Many of us working at Snag live for these styles, and we know a huge part of our community does too!
It’s basically any style that breaks away from boring high-street trends and lets you show off who you really are. whether you love moody kraken tentacles or tiered tulle skirts.
We focus on making sure these styles are made ethically and fit actual human bodies in sizes 4 to 38. We are a part of this community ourselves and we can't wait to see goths everywhere wearing this print!
