Astrid beige dress

The Astrid carries Doodlage's repair philosophy visibly on its surface — tiny patchwork embroideries reinforce the fabric at stress points while becoming the garment's most distinctive detail. A gathered neck, back tie closure, side slit, and two deep inseam pockets make it as practical as it is considered.

Sustainability
This piece is made from upcycled factory deadstock — fabric that would otherwise go to waste at the end of a production run. Doodlage collects, sorts, and reconstructs these materials at a small-scale, fair-wage atelier in Delhi, where waste generation is tracked and minimised at every stage. Because the raw material varies with each batch, minor variations in shade or texture are part of what makes every piece unique.

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.
