Details:
Our Sonia Dress is perfect for all occasions — whether the middle of summer or middle of winter, you can dress her up with a heel and jewelry, or dress her down with a low-top sneaker or sandal. Sonia is also fantastic with an oversized wool coat, and her volume allows a perfect way to sneak some heat-tech layers underneath during the winter. Maxi length with three tiers, flutter sleeves, pintucking at front and back necklines, two silver metal buttons at back, and lined. Handmade in India.

About the Artisan
The Saheli Women
This women-owned, slow-fashion clothing atelier and social enterprise in rural India is one of our signature partners. The Saheli Women combat exploitative labor by providing fair wages and a safe working environment, while also empowering women by teaching income-generating skills so they can earn a livelihood and achieve economic independence. From dying fabrics, to garment construction, to embroidery and more, we’ve been working with these talented artisans for over 4 years and are incredibly proud to be a long-term international partner.
Historic Techniques
Handloom
From plant to thread to garment, handlooming is the exact opposite of fast fashion. The centuries-old technique of creating fabric on a handloom is extremely labor intensive. First, our artisans spin the raw plant material into threads using their hands. Those threads are counted out while a warp is prepared, filling yarns for weaving, and each warp end is individually threaded into the loom before the weaving process even begins. We love the handloom technique because of its quality and feel, as well as the fact that, next to agriculture, it’s the second-most important industry in India.
