Helena - Long Dress - Beige/Yellow

The Helena Dress
The Helena dress is handwoven by different artisants and is made out of 100% cotton Ikat. The term ‘Ikat’ originates from the Indonesian word ‘mengikat’ which means 'to bind'. The technique is applied in many other Asian countries, including India. This beautiful dress is co-created with the Saheli Women, a non profit clothing atelier in India and is available in different prints.

The Saheli Women only produces ethically and sustainably. The proof can be found not only in their garment, but also in the working conditions. Their process is very transparent. The women get paid a living wage, are able to create their own schedule and are working in a clean and safe environment.

Additionally, IPHD cares for the families of the Saheli Women. They sponsor the education of all daughters of the Saheli Women, run workshops about important topics such as financial literacy, human rights and feminism and run the only female health clinic in the village.

Every name has a story to tell
