A versatile silhouette that can be worn free and flowing, or softly cinched with a self-tie belt. This dress is made in partnership with Saheil Women - a women led social enterprise in Rajasthan creating ethical employment for rural craftswomen.

Woven from handloom silk and naturally dyed using madder root - one of earths oldest pigments celebrated for its red tones. The intricate patterning is created through Bandhani, a traditional Indian tie-dye technique where artisans meticulously hand tie thousands of tiny knots into the fabric before dyeing.

Artisan Details

Each piece is hand dyed and crafted in collaboration with the Saheli Women. Subtle variations in colour and print are a natural part of the process - a reflection of the hands behind each garment.

Every Sundari dress arrives with a swing tag featuring the woman who made it, offering a small glimpse into her story.
