Dear Friend Process
Bibi's own line of ethically made clothing, jewelry, & accessories. Thoughtfully designed in Austin, Texas, handcrafted with love in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Clothing should last a lifetime, & Bibi designs with this in mind. Dear Friend offers chic silhouettes we'll want to wear from our 20's through our 70's. Our bodies change shape throughout our lives too, & Dear Friend clothes are designed with flexible sizing to take us through all those transitions (including special attention for breastfeeding friendly shapes).
The process begins with Bibi, dreaming & scheming at home in Austin. She shares her designs with the amazing women of our certified fair trade partner collective in Nepal. We only use hand loomed or semi-power loomed natural fabrics, depending on how each piece will be worn by you. Fabrics are then colored with low impact & natural dyes. Finally, these amazing women hand make each garment for you to wear. Our clothes will only get softer & cozier as they move with you through life.
We also offer an array of accessories & prioritize utilizing scrap fabric that would otherwise be thrown in a landfill.
Dear Friend jewelry is made with sterling silver, plated in 22k gold.
*Each piece will be slightly different & unique due to the special nature of the handmade process*
Thank you for supporting ethical & sustainable fashion!
