ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Srikandi dress is a mesmerizing creation, meticulously handcrafted by artisans in Bali. Its graceful layered ruffles flow effortlessly with every movement, turning each step into a statement of elegance that commands attention. Inspired by Srikandi, the legendary female warrior from the Hindu epic Mahabharata, this dress captures her essence of courage, strength, and wisdom.
Each piece is crafted from 100% deadstock cotton, sourced from leftover fabric originally produced for larger fashion houses but unused and full of potential. By repurposing this high-quality material, each dress reduces textile waste while creating something new without additional environmental impact.
The button-down closure and pleated design create a silhouette that embodies both comfort and sophistication. Soft, breathable cotton moves with you through your day, while the royal blue hue brings depth and richness to this timeless piece that celebrates both artisan craft and conscious living.
