ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Srikandi dress flows with mesmerizing grace through layered ruffles that dance with your every movement. Handcrafted by talented artisans in Bali from 100% cotton, each dress transforms simple steps into statements of quiet elegance that speaks without words.
Inspired by Srikandi, the legendary female warrior from the Mahabharata, this dress captures an essence of courage, strength, and wisdom. The thoughtful pleated design and button-down closure create a silhouette that honors both tradition and modern femininity.
More than beautiful clothing, each piece represents meaningful work for female artisans who craft from home while nurturing their families. This is slow fashion at its most intentional, where every ruffle tells a story of empowerment and artisan community support.

BrunnaCo says every collection is handcrafted by talented artisans in Indonesia, especially Bali. These craftspeople, mostly women, work from the comfort of their homes while playing an important role as mothers.
BrunnaCo was founded by Helga Ida Ayu, who calls Bali her home island and now lives in California. In Indonesia, many women give up their jobs and careers after they marry to care for their families. BrunnaCo is committed to making it possible for its female artisans to work from home and pursue their dreams, and hopes to help them feel accomplished.
BrunnaCo says its aim has always been to create meaningful pieces from locally harvested plant based, recycled and vegan materials, and through its work to share the stories of its artisans and the beauty of Indonesia's land and culture.
