Sourced and constructed in Tanzania, no two pieces are alike. These vibrant pink dresses are airy, soft and truly multi-use, ‘Sienna’ made with bishop sleeves, gathered at the wrist and ‘Florence’ made with a fitted t-shirt sleeve, both featuring roomy side pockets and a zipper-up back. Florence and Sienna are unique and two that give back to Femme International’s programs ‘Twaweza’ and ‘Twende’. Based in Kenya and Tanzania, Femme International’s mission is to educate, advocate and research ways to bring menstrual solutions to women and girls across East Africa.

Handmade from start to finish and sourced directly from market vendors, you can be confident that when you purchase this dress, everyone from textile makers to crafters and designers receive a fair wage. The fabric, called kitenage, is a 100% cotton cloth traditionally printed with bold colours, patterns and even political slogans, and is widely used in East, West, and Central Africa for clothes, scarves, and other accessories. Florence and Sienna can be worn on breezy summer nights or crisp autumn days.
