Celebrating our slow fashion ethos, Nora is an ode to the art of handmade. Beginning with four wood blocks intricately hand-carved to create two traditional floral designs, skilled artisans then use the blocks to slowly and carefully hand print delicate noir hues with a cacao outline upon the softest cotton voile.

The making of Noir
Hand block printed

The making of Noir

Hand block printing is a traditional artisan technique that uses hand-carved wooden blocks to print fabric by hand. Rooted in Indian craft traditions, the process is slow and highly skilled, beginning with carving wooden blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.

fave

I have multiple Nora and Kyra dresses, and I have to say, I love that the Nora has a little bit more length than the Kyra, and also has the elastic around the sleeves. It means I can push them up and keep the sleeves from getting in the way when I'm at work. Probably my fave style.
