Louisa upcycled denim dress

The Louisa Upcycled Denim uses box pleats to build a skirt with real volume — each pleat fans out from a fitted waist, creating a dress that moves dramatically with every step. Contrast adjustable straps and a fabric belt add a considered finish to the upcycled denim construction.

Sustainability
This piece is reconstructed from upcycled denim — factory deadstock, defective fabric rolls, and post-consumer material diverted from landfill. Conventional denim production is one of fashion's most water-intensive processes; by working with what already exists, Doodlage bypasses that entirely. Because the raw material varies with each batch, no two garments are identical.

About Doodlage
Doodlage is a Delhi-based zero-waste label that upcycles factory offcuts, deadstock, and post-consumer textiles into contemporary clothing. Every piece is made at a fair-wage, small-scale atelier — minimising waste at every step from the cutting table to the finished garment. Founded on the belief that fashion can be radical without being wasteful.

Delivery
Each piece is thoughtfully prepared and shipped with care. Please allow 10–15 working days for delivery. As every garment is made in small batches or to order, lead times may occasionally vary — we will always keep you informed.
