MADE WITH LOVE

The Madhu style is the first Zazi design and named after Madhu, founder of social enterprise Saheli Women. Handcrafted in Shibori patterns and naturally dyed in healing colours by the Akane sisters, each piece carries creativity, craftsmanship and elegance.

“The concept of working with nature, extracting colour from plants, leaves, flowers, and being inspired by it was truly fascinating. You can’t control nature and that’s the beauty of natural dyes.”

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