Featuring a deep and elegant neckline, along with adjustable ribbons at the waistline, our dresses are made for each and every woman, exuding femininity. Using natural dyes and local materials, the Tahmina dress embodies the rich and unique stories from Uzbekistan along the ancient Silk Road. The traditional Ikat (pronounced ‘ee-khat’) weave technique has been passed down from generation to generation, creating a dress that is individual to its owner and calls to be cherished.

ARTISANAL NOTE

Handcrafted in one-of-a-kind ikat patterns and colours, each piece carries creativity, craftsmanship and elegance. Sharing with you the Poetry of the Loom of the Far East and weaving the rich tales and heritage of Uzbekistan.

Ikat weaving - known as “Abr-Band” in Uzbekistan which means “tie the cloud” - is a complex process of 37 steps whereby vibrantly dyed threads are handwoven into cloths. Its origins trace back to different regions in Asia and celebrated in this exclusive design.

We hope that you feel the craftsmanship and love that is woven into every dress.

PRICE BREAKDOWN

When it comes to running a small company with purpose, there are so many costs that are both unseen and seen. From renting our ZAZI world in the heart of Amsterdam to the worldwide creatives we work with every day. From the most talented pattern makers, photographers and muses to the endless calls to perfection every co-creation up to the smallest seam. From our community work of tracking your order to packing them with love, and a little note before it arrives with you.

Our co-creations are a process of months of calls and love letters to our partners to get to know them and their stories. Two teams of women come together from far corners of the world to create products made with the intentionality to truly connect you to the stories interwoven in them. If there is money left by the end of this process, it is directly invested into a new community so we can slowly grow this company step by step.

We hope you feel the love we weave through every garment.
