Our own, Dear Friend, dress. Thoughtfully designed in Austin, Texas, ethically crafted in Kathmandu, Nepal.Â
We designed the Anu dress to take you from from the hottest Texas summer heat to the coldest Himalayan winter (with a little layering, of course).Â
Handmade by our amazing certified fair trade partners in Nepal, first the women of this collective handloom the cotton, then color that cotton with gentle dyes, and finally hand make each dress. All the hand loomed cotton we make our clothes from just gets softer and comfier with wear.
These beautifully airy dresses can be worn freely, or belted with the accompanying sash for a more formal look and hourglass shape. We can't help but think these are the perfect dresses for all seasons!
100% hand woven cotton
Azo-free dyes
Each piece will be slightly different & unique due to the special nature of the handmade process.
Thank you for supporting ethical & sustainable fashion!
Care Instructions for Naturally Dyed Clothing

- If washing on the hand wash cycle of a machine, washing in a garment bag will help avoid snags
- Wash dark colors separately
- The colors of plant based dye will mellow over time, adding a whole new dimension to your wardrobe
