Our Values
What makes Daydress different?
All produced in one city
Every one of our hand-block printed garments is produced from scratch in Jaipur. Apart from the cotton base cloth, which is woven in south India, the fabric is dyed, block printed, cut, stitched, finished and shipped from our small workshop in Jaipur.
Small Batch
Small-scale production is very important to us. Keeping our quantities small means more exclusivity for you, very little waste and the ability to support independent craftspeople. It also gives us full control over the quality of each finished piece.
Supporting independant makers
Independence is highly important to Daydress. Both our own, and that of the craftspeople we work with. To be able to support and promote skills and in doing so hope to make them appealing and viable for the next generation to learn and practice.
Original Design
All our block-print patterns are designed in the Daydress Studio. While antique textiles provide us with endless inspiration, it is very important to us that we do not use pre-existing block-print designs, this is how we stay unique!
Details
Please turn our garments inside-out and you will see how beautifully finished they are. Seams are French, embroidery is produced by hand, buttons are sewn on by hand.
Transparent production
Our block-carvers and block printers are totally independent, so whatever they bill us for, goes only to them. We have no middle men. I use the same small production unit that I discovered in 2017 on my exploratory sabbatical to Jaipur.
