Description

Our naturally dyed dresses are inspired by the healing colours of nature and the stories of its makers. Botanically dyed by hand and made from soft mulberry peace silk, this long dress features thin straps, an open back and a slight translucence for a truly elegant feel. Each piece tells its own unique story - from the women behind every weave, stitch and seam to the leftover flowers collected from the temples to hand dye with.

  • Crafted by women, for women

  • Thin straps
  • Open back
  • Length: 147 cm
  • Handcrafted in India by indigenous silk weavers, Akané & Kumbaya
  • Fabric: 100% handwoven mulberry peace silk (mulberry)

ARTISANAL NOTE

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

Juhi - co-founder of the natural plant dye studio Akané. 

This elegant style piece is the collective work of numerous women behind every weave, stitch and seam. From the indigenous silk weavers who have been handweaving silk for generations to the natural dyes of the Akané sisters and the tailoring of the Kumbaya community with love and precision. 

“Even though we do the exact dye with the exact same recipe and use the measurements that we worked with on the sample… the colours still might turn out to be a little different. Pale yellows end up a little brighter than what we had died earlier. This happens with each batch of flowers."

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

"Everything about Zazi is beautiful but what stands out the most is the commitment to enable women who make clothes all over the world being able to make a living out of it."

Sophie

"My Zazi coats are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Every time I wear one I'm stopped and asked about my 'incredible coat'. It gives me so much joy to tell this story of these radiant one of a kind pieces as the ethos of the whole company is something I stand behind wholeheartedly! The entire experience of dreaming, designing, receiving, and now wearing has been exquisite."

Auden

"My custom coat arrived yesterday and i’m in awe by how beautiful this coat is. From the stiching, to the patterns, to the fabric; I feel like a Goddess in it."
