HAND BLOCK PRINTED IN INDIA

Hand block printing is a traditional artisan technique that uses hand-carved wooden blocks to print fabric by hand. Rooted in Indian craft traditions, the process is slow and highly skilled, beginning with carving rosewood blocks and carefully preparing the fabric.

Eco-friendly dyes are mixed by hand and stamped in precise alignment, often in layers to build the design. The fabric is then washed, dried, and quality-checked, resulting in textiles that celebrate sustainability, human rhythm, and individual artistry.

Empowering women

At the heart of Daughters of India, we believe supporting women to feel empowered is a key component of a positive future.

We have pledged an ongoing monthly donation of $10,000 to support our charity partnerships Sewing the Seeds and Saheli Women.

Sewing the seeds


Sewing the Seeds is a women’s empowerment initiative that uses education and creativity in slow fashion to help break the cycle of poverty for Indian women. Their centre offers training in business, finance, and women’s health, fostering self-confidence in a supportive environment.
 
We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.

Saheli Women

We’re working with Saheli women to launch Saheli Kapas, a Cotton Project, to support and empower female farmers at the root of the supply chain. Saheli Women believe true fashion starts with the Earth and the women who nurture and farm it.


The pilot begins with five women and their farms, providing them with training, direct income, and ongoing support. By offering access to quality seeds and low-water sustainable practices, we aim to uplift communities while honouring Mother Earth.

We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.

Fitted style

"I should have bought the medium. My daughter in law is enjoying this cutie Much more fitted than other styles"

— Janiece I. (4/5)

It's so perfect

"This dress fits like it was tailored for my body. I am 5'10"" 140 lbs with teeeensy tiny boobs, but this dress makes me feel so feminine and pretty. Love it. I hope they'll make more like this for the days when I'm willing to have clothes close to my body."

— Jessica L. (5/5)

Truly beautiful

"Delicate and perfect peace for summer. I did get scared in order a medium when a size small would’ve fit me just fine. I had to sew down the sides too make it fit me but otherwise it was beautiful. For reference I’m a 34 bust and a 28 inch waist☺️🤎"

— Sarai R. (5/5)

Pretty but not what I was expecting

"This dress has the loveliest pattern and flowy fabric. But unfortunately two things: first there was an imperfection right at the front middle of my dress, and second, the top came up WAY too high. It looked wrong from the front, and there's no adjustment available from the straps. Luckily the team quickly arranged a return and refund due to the defective issue on the dress."

— Aimee S. (3/5)

Beautiful Dress

"Loved this dress so much ! My first piece and it fit perfectly, rave reviews from friends, and stunning natural material. Cant wait to be able to bring more into my wardrobe. Gifted someone a gift card already!"
