Our own, Dear Friend, maxi dress. Designed to take you from the hottest Texas summer heat to the coldest Himalayan winter (with a little layering, of course). These beautifully airy dresses can be worn freely, or belted with the accompanying sash for a more formal look & hourglass shape. And, of course, we've included deep hidden pockets for your comfort. We can't help but think this is the perfect dress for all seasons!
Thoughtfully designed by Bibi, in Austin, Texas. Ethically handcrafted by our amazing Fair Trade partners in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Named after the wonderful Anu, who leads pattern-making & garment production at our partner women's collective in Nepal. Anu is one of the most talented people we know, & performs creative miracles with a ready smile & infectious laugh. We always know we'll be filled with warmth & love when we see her at the workshop ♥️

- Adjustable straps can be tied into or out of back loops for a variety of styles (parallel shoulder straps, cross back straps, keyhole back straps, rope tie straps, halter neck, choose your own adventure!)

We love pairing this with a our Aarti Top as a vest for a little extra coverage. Or layer up in winter with a chunky cardigan, leggings, boots, & our Quilted Nabina Jacket.
The women of our incredible partner collective in Nepal handloom the cotton, then color that fabric with gentle dyes, and finally hand make each piece. This hand loomed cotton just gets softer and comfier with wear.
Each piece will be slightly different & unique due to the special nature of the handmade process.
Thank you for supporting ethical & sustainable fashion!
