Mimi Dress
An oversized, draped dress in a fine charcoal stripe shot through with rust and gold. The fabric is soft and fluid enough to fall into deep, sculptural folds through the body, gathered and wrapped at the front into an asymmetric cascade.
The overall shape is generous and cocoon-like, oversized through the body with all the shape coming from the drape rather than the cut. It reads dressed-up with heels, as styled here, but has the ease to work with flats too.

Hand-dyed in small batches in Accra by our team of six local women artisans. We work primarily on natural fibers, reclaiming and reusing wax and dye baths where we can. Textile mill offcuts and obroni wawu, secondhand imported fabric, are given a second life with Tampoori colour. We're not perfect. But we're honest, and we're trying.

Fabric is lightweight. A 3-yard piece typically weighs under
500g. We will confirm your exact shipping cost before dispatch.

we will work it out together.
We want you to love your fabric. Here is everything you need to know before you buy.
All sales are final on cut fabric. Because each piece is hand-dyed in small batches, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on fabric that has been cut, washed, or used.
Uncut fabric. We have a 10-day return policy from date of delivery. Items must be unused and in their original condition with proof of purchase. EU customers have 14 days under the EU cooling off period. If approved, you can choose a refund to your original payment method or store credit. Shipping costs and import duties are non-refundable. Sale items and gift cards cannot be returned.
Colour variation. Our fabrics are hand-dyed by artisans. Natural variation in colour, tone, and texture is part of the process; no two pieces leave the studio looking exactly the same. This is not a defect, it is the nature of the craft. Colour may also appear slightly different on screen depending on your device settings.
Damaged or incorrect orders. Please inspect your order on receipt and contact us immediately if something is wrong so we can make it right.
Not sure about a colour before you buy? WhatsApp us and we will send you photos or a short video in natural light before you commit.
Cold wash; expect minimal dye bleed in first wash.
Wash alone for the first two washes.
Hand washing is always safest.
No bleach, no biological detergent.
Dry in the shade, never in direct sunlight.
Iron on the reverse side at medium heat.
