The Pathani dress is back! It's a true is a celebration of craftsmanship, femininity, and the poetry of tradition. Hand-dyed in soft gradations of pink and green, this off-shoulder silhouette flows like a dream.

Because our dresses are naturally dyed, no two pieces are ever the same. The final shade is shaped by the pH of the water, seasonal weather, and the rhythm of nature itself. Unlike synthetic dyes, natural pigments age gracefully and uniquely, adding character and storytelling to your garment.

Can be styled both on and off the shoulder
Naturally dyed silk
Comes with a waist accentuating belt but can also be worn without for a more flowy look!
Made in India by Saheli Women

Meet Nasibi and Pathani – two spirited members of the Saheli Women collective and best friends in and outside the studio. Both are Pakistani Hindu immigrants who found a new sense of home and purpose through their craft. Nasibi, always quick with a cheeky joke, keeps everyone laughing.

Saheli Women is a pioneering all-female artisan collective in the rural village of Bhikamkor, India, and ZAZI’s very first partner. Founded by Madhu Vaishnav, Saheli—meaning "female friend" in Hindi—was born from a vision to create not just beautiful garments, but a platform for women’s voices. Madhu’s mission is to celebrate the resilience, creativity, and stories of women like Nasibi and Pathani—who are transforming their own lives and their communities through the art of making.
