ARTISANAL NOTE

The Saida style is the first Zazi design and named after its maker Saida. Handcrafted in various 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.
