You become as you go. Lelaku is Bahasa Indonesia for a journey shaped by experience, movement and becoming, and the Lelaku Dress is made for one. A women's mid-length slip dress in soft, fluid charcoal viscose-rayon, with straps that adjust at the back. Handwoven Ikat trims the neckline and returns as a stripe at the hem, where our mantra, "I root where I walk", is embroidered.
The trim is black flower Ikat. Its yarn was tied and dyed by hand in Central Java, then worked on a hand loom for close to two months, so no two dresses carry quite the same lines. Each one is cut and finished by a small family of tailors in Bali, in small batches.
Wear it on its own on warm days, or throw the Teduh Cardigan over it when the air turns.
