ARTISANAL NOTE

This elegant style is named after Juhi, co-founder of the natural plant dye studio Akané that she runs together with her sister Janhavi. Handcrafted and botanically dyed in healing colours, each piece carries creativity, craftsmanship and elegance. 

“The concept of working with nature, extracting colour from plants, leaves, flowers, and being inspired by it was truly fascinating. You can’t control nature and that’s the beauty of natural dyes.”

We hope that you feel the craftsmanship and love that is woven into every dress.

MATERIALS AND CARE

Zazi items are handmade with carefully selected natural materials without the use of synthetic chemicals. To cherish your handcrafted Zazi dress for a longer time, please handle it with care.

• Due to the hand dyed nature of the fabric, there might be small color variations making each piece one of a kind.

• Washing by hand is advised to maintain quality of thread and colour. 

PRICE BREAKDOWN

When it comes to running a small company with purpose, there are so many costs that are both unseen and seen. From renting our Zazi world in the heart of Amsterdam to the worldwide creatives we work with every day. From the most talented pattern makers, photographers and muses to the endless calls to perfection every co-creation up to the smallest seam. From our community work of tracking your order to packing them with love, and a little note before it arrives with you.

Our co-creations are a process of months of calls and love letters to our partners to get to know them and their stories. Two teams of women coming together from far corners of the world to create products made with the intentionality to truly connect you to the stories interwoven in them. If there is money left by the end of this process, it is directly invested into a new community so we can slowly grow this company step by step.

We hope you feel the love we weave through every garment.
