Narrative Made

Narrative Made is a contemporary womenswear brand that partners with artisan communities in the developing world. The collection features beautifully crafted dresses and separates that provide a fair channel for artisans to work with traditional skills. Each item in the collection incorporates hand pleating, double sided blackwork stitching, satin stitch embroidery, Dheu quilting or traditional indigo dying. The collection exudes an Asian minimal aesthetic, combined with a Zen like simplicity and clarity of design, while combining detailed handwork in a completely modern way.

Exploring heritage textiles and the people that make them, forms the root of the brand DNA. Reveling in telling the stories of makers and artisans from around the world, Narrative Made weave together generations of culture, history, and technical skill through the collection. The weaving techniques, hand stitched motifs, and natural dyes each reflect unique identities. Founded by Sharon de Lyster in 2015 and based on the discovery of a passion for indigenous people and heritage craft, the brand focus on sustainable fashion, promoting economic empowerment and the preservation of craft.
