Stevie Dress in Chocolate by Apolina

Apolina clothing is a collection of modern bohemian childrenswear with a sense of craft, thoughtfully produced in India.

All garments are proudly and ethically made in India, at a small family-run sample workshop where the free-hand machine embroidery is created by true artisans. With a focus on highlighting traditional Indian craftsmanship, Apolina works with a family-run Indian manufacturer, who employs equal numbers of women and men (unusual for this industry). Ethical trading and production practices are strictly adhered to and workers are not only paid a fair wage, they are also treated as members of the extended family.

Each item is unique due to the hand finishing of the garment, and styles are produced in limited numbers through 'small batch' production. Each style is seasonless and has been designed to be layered up or dressed down depending on the weather, to encourage maximum wear / minimum waste and to help remove the idea of disposability in fashion.
