Satimah - Long Dress - Red

The Satimah dress
The Satimah 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
The Satimah dress is inspired by a woman from Bodjonegoro, Indonesia. A mysterious indiginous lady, who wanted to explore the whole world and perceive the deeper layers of existence. This dress has a waist band and short balloon sleeves. The cleavage in the middle and the button attached to it makes it possible for a little bit of skin to be shown - but only if the person who wears it feels like it.
