"I’m obsessed. Cannot wait to wear this top on repeat. My only change to it would be slightly smaller elastic bands on the arms so they stay above my elbow for optimum sleeve pour."
Inspired by a vintage silhouette, this elevated blouse has been crafted with handloom fabric ~ a rare and exclusive sustainably handmade textile in modern times. The beautifully soft hand-woven cotton features a light pink colour-way with pinstripe detailing in white, brown & yellow tones. While the shape offers a flowing oversized blouse design with a classic poet-style collar and optional front tie, and romantic billowy sleeves finished with soft elasticated cuffs.
Gentle, cold water hand wash using natural detergents, and hang drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are delicate, however, designed to last when treated mindfully with love and care.
Ethically handmade with love in India, The Poet Series serves to support local traditions and the preservation of the ancient artistry of handloom weaving.
At the heart of Daughters of India, we believe supporting women to feel empowered is a key component of a positive future.
We have pledged an ongoing monthly donation of $10,000 to support our charity partnerships Sewing the Seeds and Saheli Women.



Sewing the Seeds is a women’s empowerment initiative that uses education and creativity in slow fashion to help break the cycle of poverty for Indian women. Their centre offers training in business, finance, and women’s health, fostering self-confidence in a supportive environment.
We have committed to a monthly donation of $5,000 to support their impactful work.
We’re working with Saheli women to launch Saheli Kapas, a Cotton Project, to support and empower female farmers at the root of the supply chain. Saheli Women believe true fashion starts with the Earth and the women who nurture and farm it.

The pilot begins with five women and their farms, providing them with training, direct income, and ongoing support. By offering access to quality seeds and low-water sustainable practices, we aim to uplift communities while honouring Mother Earth.
