Inspired by a vintage silhouette, and crafted with handloom fabric ~ a rare and exclusive sustainably handmade textile in modern times. Featuring a flowy oversized mini length design with a classic poet-style collar and optional tie, romantic billowy sleeves finished with soft elasticated cuffs, and pockets at the hip in a beautiful fine chequered Taupe colour-way. 

Material ~ 100% Handloom Cotton. 

The Poet Mini 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...

Realy don’t like the fit. Feel very frumpy in it. I wish I had gone down a size or 2.

High quality and versatile

I love this dress and it’s perfect for so many occasions, it’s ideal for a summer evening, but also I love to wear it on a crisp autumn day with an oversized jumper and boots. The fabric is great quality and after a year, it still looks and feels great.
