Inspired by a vintage silhouette and crafted with handloom fabric ~ a rare and exclusive sustainably handmade textile in modern times. This intentionally oversized mini dress  features a soft white colour-way contrasted with tan pinstripe detailing, while the shape offers a poet-style collar with optional front tie, romantic billowy sleeves finished with soft elasticated cuffs, and pockets at the hip.

Material ~ 100% Handloom Cotton. Depending on each individual, some find the material sheer. A slip may be worn underneath if desired.

The Poet Mini is designed to be an oversized fit. If you prefer a more fitted style we recommend sizing down.

Garment Care ~ We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.

Ethically handmade with love in India, 

The Poet Series serves to support local traditions and the preservation of the ancient artistry of handloom weaving.
