Handmade in India

Inspired by a vintage silhouette and crafted with handloom fabric ~ a rare and exclusive sustainably handmade textile in modern times. This flowing oversized maxi length design features sparkling gold lurex and white detailing on a deep sapphire blue base, classic poet-style collar and optional tie, romantic billowy sleeves finished with soft elasticated cuffs, thigh high split on both sides and pockets at the hip.

Material ~ 100% Handloom Cotton.

The Poet Maxi is designed to be an oversized fit. If you prefer a more fitted style we recommend sizing down.

Garment Care ~ We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.

Ethically handmade with love in India, The Poet Series serves to support local traditions and the preservation of the ancient artistry of handloom weaving.

The only of its kind

Our order of hand loomed fabric was distributed throughout an entire village in Southern India, roughly 100 homes worked on piecing the fabric for these garments together, providing employment and supporting the continuance of this tradition that holds an expected life-span of only 10-15 years. The Poet Series styles are destined to become vintage due to the rare exclusivity of hand-loomed fabrics in modern times.

They are truly an ode to slow fashion, watch the video below to learn more...

I do love this dress! I’m using it as a dress but also cover up for my trip to Greece. I originally ordered the medium and it was HUGE on me. I’m about 5ft and 135lbs. On a whim I exchanged for the XS and it was still very big but I like it. I did wash it in the machine so it wouldn’t bleed later on and I actually didn’t need to shorten it which is surprising. Great quality!

Beautiful dress

The fit is lovely, great length (I’m 5’5) sizing is really generous and material is lovely and soft. Very happy with my dress and will certainly get much use from it.

Beautiful Dress

I originally bought the Sapphire Poet in large but returned it for a medium. I probably could have easily gone for a small for a more fitted look. The fabric is beautiful, with the sparkle of the gold adding a little glam. Lovely and cool for summer, the only thing needed now is for the good weather to arrive.
