Ladies dress buttoned

As if made for warm summer days: a soft flowing dress made of fine cotton poplin, buttoned through and slightly flared. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation. The dress is worked with striking mother-of-pearl buttons and two side pockets that are integrated into the side seams. The raglan sleeves are cut wide and the sleeve ends are ruffled like the neckline - which emphasizes the feminine character.

Behind the Danish label CARE BY ME are designer Camilla Gullits and her business partner Pernille Pold. Their designs combine Danish design and the traditional craftsmanship of India and Nepal, as their aim is not only to offer high-quality and durable clothing and home textiles, but also to produce them in a resource-friendly and fair way. In Nepal, for example, handmade textiles make up a large part of the national economy and, as in India, the production of textiles is traditionally in the hands of women. CARE BY ME therefore works with small workshops where women can learn and practise the traditional craft in order to provide them with a secure income. The new wool comes from the region around Kathmandu and is also spun there. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation and CARE BY ME sources it from a GOTS and Fairtrade-certified partner company.
