The only summer dress guide you need if you’re done buying things that fall apart after one season.

🤎The Banhi, block printed cotton mini with contrast print on the sleeves and hem, elasticated sleeves and a waist tie you can fasten front or back. The perfect vacation dress.
🩷The Nanda, block printed cotton mini with contrast piping around the yoke, elastic puff sleeves and neck ties finished with fluffy handmade tassels. Fully lined.
🤍The Zoha, hand printed using carved wooden blocks dipped in pigments, beautiful contrast piping around the yoke, balloon sleeves, and ties with tiny bells at the neck. Another one that packs perfectly.
💜The Alila, cotton voile, ultra lightweight, adjustable straps, hidden pockets, soft enough to sleep in and polished enough to wear to dinner. The one you reach for on the days when you just need something easy.

All are 100% cotton, hand block printed in India, and made to last summer after summer 🏖️

There is nowhere else in the world where you can find this.

The fabrics, the craft, the color, the blocks that have been creating the same patterns for centuries. It all exists in a way that just doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Every collection I’ve made has Jaipur in it somewhere and I don’t think that’s ever going to change. That’s why I keep going back 🤍

The Nishu is one of those dresses that feels weightless the moment you put it on. Hand block printed cotton voile, billowy bell sleeves, hidden pockets, and light enough to wear in the kind of heat where everything else feels like too much against your skin. Market days, beach dinners, sunny afternoon walks, this one works for all of it 💚

The person who carves the block. The Master Ji who approves the sample. The women who finish the piece by hand.

None of them learned this in a classroom. It was passed down the only way it ever has been, by watching, by doing, by getting it wrong and trying again. That’s what’s in every piece 🦋

My husband and I recently bought a villa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which probably sounds a lot more glamorous than the reality of what we walked into 😅

It’s a traditional, artisan style house, not for everybody. There are statues built into the walls, stained glass windows, a yard full of cats, and a stone fireplace we will never once use because Puerto Vallarta is never cold. When we moved in it was painted black and orange and gold and every time I walked into the room it made my head want to explode.

We painted it creamy white and it looks completely different now. My husband sanded down the carved furniture that had been painted in that DIY sponge style and it looks like something new.

It’s a work in progress, but then again so is everything worth having. More to come on the updates inside.

This is where the clothes live when they’re not on their way to you 🤍

The detail on this dress is hand embroidered. Not printed, not heat transferred, not machine made. Every single stitch was done by hand.

The Shivani is a double lined cotton gauze dress with balloon sleeves, a deep V at the bust, handmade tassels at the neck and hidden pockets. It’s light and billowy in the way that only cotton gauze can be, the kind of fabric that moves when you move and keeps you cool even when it’s warm outside.

The embroidery is what makes it though. Up close you can see every individual stitch and the care that went into it 🤍💜

I went to Jaipur for the first time not really knowing what I was looking for. I just knew I wanted to make something that didn’t exist anywhere else.

What I found was an entire city built around color and craft, where every market stall has bolts of fabric in colors so bright they don’t look real, where the blocks that print them have been carving the same patterns for generations.

Whoever says you can’t find beautiful, colorful, well made clothing anymore clearly hasn’t been introduced to block printing yet🤍

The Sindhi. Hand block printed cotton maxi, double puff sleeves, on or off the shoulder, breathable enough for the hottest days. Linked in bio 🤍

When I first started going to Jaipur I didn’t really know what I was looking for. I just knew I wanted to work with people who were genuinely good at what they did.

What I found were family workshops that had been block printing for generations, where the craft gets passed down the same way it always has, from parent to child, from one generation to the next.

The block printers who learned the craft from their fathers or uncles. The women mixing the dyes have been doing it their whole lives.

I know these people, I’ve sat in their workshops, I’ve watched them work, and every time I place an order I think about all of the hands that are going to touch that fabric before it becomes something you put on in the morning 🤍

Some places just get into you and never really leave. Jaipur is that place for me 🌸🐘
