The dresses are designed in London and proudly made in India, where a huge amount of the world’s cotton originates. The region of Delhi is renowned for the art of hand-smocking, and Donald is passionate about preserving heritage skills and supporting local artisans, proudly working with a single family-owned and female-run production.
