ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Srikandi Ruffle Maxi Dress captures the essence of flowing feminine grace through layers of hand-pleated ruffles that dance with every movement. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Bali using 100% deadstock cotton, each dress transforms discarded textile potential into wearable poetry.
Named after the legendary female warrior from the Mahabharata, this dress embodies strength wrapped in softness. The thoughtful button-down closure and flowing silhouette create effortless elegance for the conscious woman who values both beauty and purpose.
The rich sienna brown cotton carries stories from its past life as unused fabric from larger fashion houses. By choosing deadstock materials, each dress prevents textile waste while celebrating the artisan traditions of Indonesian craftspeople working from the comfort of their homes.
