Manual, heat pressed cardboard pleating: Each pleat has been sculpted by our artisans from cardboard moulds broken by hand, tightening the loom with wooden clamps then heated in an oven — creating a texture that is both visually striking and sensorially delightful.
This pleating has a permanent effect, and care for the skirt is as effortless as the sway of the pleats: Put garment in a laundry bag, gentle machine wash, hang to air dry and let the chic continue.
Avoid rough and excessive bending to maintain integrity of the pleats.
While the pleats withstand heat during the crafting process, avoid exposing them to excessive heat sources like ironing and steaming.
- Finishing (Piping for Neckline and Armholes; Four Thread Overlock for all other seams; Double hem finishing for hem.)

The Story
Our Sleeveless Fusion Pleat Dress is a delightful design that merges artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. This dress, awash in a gradient of rich, moody hues, features a sleeveless bodice that seamlessly transitions into a cascade of iconic sunray pleats. Each pleat, meticulously sculpted by our artisans using hand-broken cardboard molds and wooden clamps, is heat-pressed to create a texture that is both visually striking and sensorially delightful.
For a summer-friendly office look, pair this dress with a tailored, lightweight blazer in deep navy or black, allowing the dress’s exquisite colors to subtly shine through. Complement the ensemble with minimalist, open-toe mules to maintain a professional yet breezy demeanor. As the workday transitions into evening, shed the blazer and enhance your look with bold, statement earrings and strappy heels. Let the dress’s elegant flow and intricate pleats take center stage, creating a sophisticated aura perfect for any upscale event. On casual weekends, embrace a relaxed yet chic vibe by layering the dress with a cropped, light wash denim jacket and slipping into a pair of white sneakers. Add a touch of bohemian flair with a wide-brimmed hat and a crossbody bag, making it an ideal outfit for brunch or a leisurely stroll through the city.
