Ishani Silk Dress

$680.00 USD

In India, Kalamkari is an ancient tradition of hand-painting on cotton. This shirt dress carries on that heritage with five distinct hand-painted artworks — each brushstroke made by artisans near Bangalore. These are not prints, but true paintings on fabric, making every piece a wearable work of art.

The palette is subdued and elegant, and the cotton is soft and fine, offering both comfort and artistry. A rare treasure to add to your wardrobe.

Heritage Craft, Reinterpreted

Re-imagining India’s most beautiful textile traditions. Every garment begins with both a reverence for tradition and a devotion to the maker’s hand.

A Movement Made by Women’s Hands

Since 2013, we've connected thousands of women artisans across 50+ countries to the growing global market for ethical luxury goods—building sustainable marketplaces, funding capacity-building grants, and forging the long-term partnerships that turn craft into lasting economic sovereignty. We’re not correcting poverty. We’re correcting a market failure: the systematic undervaluing of women’s work.
