Inspired by fall, Balinese artisan Endah creates this elegant shift dress. Crafted from smooth rayon, the shift is decorated using the batik method; a wax resist is stamped by hand onto the fabric before it is treated with dye, resulting in a deep midnight blue with leaf and floral motifs of snow white. The dress is characterized by short sleeves and a knee-length skirt, and features a removable self belt and side seam pockets.

Thai artisan Wilai uses a unique eco-printing process known as ouke--a Northern Thai word that means "ripen by heat"--to create the pattern on this belted shift dress. The artisan steams a selection of leaves and flowers, imprinting their image all over the cotton fabric. Two side pockets and a button closure complete the dress with subtle, welcome details.

Please note: Due to the unique process used, there will be variations in the motif, colors, color density, and color placement. The organic materials leave unique stains and shapes on each piece. These irregularities make each dress a one-of-a-kind work of wearable art.
