Celebrating our slow fashion ethos, Nora is an ode to the art of handmade. Beginning with four wood blocks intricately hand-carved to create two traditional jaal and buti floral designs, skilled artisans then use the blocks to slowly and carefully hand print delicate blue hues upon the softest cotton voile. Tiers of printed fabric have then been gracefully layered and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons from bodice to base, forming this free flowing feminine style lovingly hand-crafted by a small group of women in Jaipur, India.

*Please note due to this style's production process taking several months to create, each Nora dress is completely unique and one-of-a-kind and is only available in extremely limited quantities. Colour variations may occur due to the handmade nature of this garment.*

Material ~ 100% Cotton. This style features an underlining, covering the bodice to the base of the second last tier on the maxi length skirt.

Garment Care ~ We recommend a gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.

Hand block printed and handmade with love in India.

Norah aquamarine maxi

Love the fabric feel and fit of this dress! The material is very delicate and needs to be carefully handled to avoid tearing

soft but bad quality

This dress is airy and soft but horrible quality. After only a few wears the dress is falling apart at the seams...literally. There are already 3 holes in the dress and im scared to wear it any more. As much as I love wearing it, for the price, the quality is just very very sub par. Again its super comfortable and soft but I just wish it could be a dress I wear for years and not days.

Light as air!

The lightest, prettiest, comfiest dress I've ever owned. I wear it constantly and wash in the machine on delicate. It says hand wash but I don't have time for that. So far no damage to the fabric and it dries in a few minutes hanging inside or in the sun. So easy! I am going to buy another as soon as my size is available again. I'm 6ft tall and the maxi comes to my mid-calf. Perfect!
