Top Manta × Tania Marcial – Upcycling Capsule Collection

Published April 23, 2026

In December 2025, Barcelona-based activist streetwear brand Top Manta collaborated with designer Tania Marcial on a limited upcycling capsule collection. Comprising twelve one-of-a-kind garments, the project brings together reclaimed materials and hand-crafted processes to explore alternative models of fashion production and use.

The collection emerges from a shared approach to design. Marcial’s practice—centered on deconstruction, material memory, and experimental garment construction—intersects with Top Manta’s day-to-day reality, where fashion functions as craft, survival, and a tool for dignity. Each piece is developed without repetition, embracing irregularity and singularity as defining qualities, while rejecting the logic of fast fashion in favor of slower, more deliberate production.

Its graphic language extends Top Manta’s existing identity system. The fonts in use are Manter Black, a bespoke display typeface, HEX Franklin XCondensed XBold by HEX Projects, and Neue Haas Grotesk by Christian Schwartz. They are occasionally complemented by custom script and tag-inspired lettering, introducing a more gestural and informal layer.
