DESIGNERFRIDAY STORY

Sustainability, Comfort, Confidence

At DesignerFriday, I believe fashion is more than style, it’s about empowerment. Born from a vision to uplift women at every step of the journey, DesignerFriday’s story is one of freedom, confidence, and care, crafted in a way that redefines how clothes are made and worn.

In a small, sunlit workshop in India, our women artisans create each A-line dress, quilted jackets and block print bag with love and purpose. Unlike traditional factories, our non-traditional setting is a haven of flexibility, where women come and go as they please, balancing their craft with their lives as mothers, caregivers, and dreamers. Here, they’re not just workers; they’re creators, supported by fair wages and a community that celebrates their skills. This freedom infuses every stitch with joy, making each piece a reflection of their strength and spirit. 


Since our founding, we’ve empowered over 50 women artisans, helping them support their families and thrive in their communities, proving that ethical production is a pathway to independence.

For the women who wear DesignerFriday, our clothing is a celebration of confidence and individuality, especially for mid-size women who deserve to feel seen. Our organic cotton dresses, designed with flattering cuts and practical pockets, are made with non-toxic dyes to nurture your skin and well-being, steering clear of fast fashion’s harmful chemicals. Every piece is crafted to help you feel cool, comfortable, and empowered, whether you’re a busy mom juggling a packed day or navigating life’s shifts with grace. In 2025, as slow fashion surges by 15%, our sustainable designs align with your values, offering a wardrobe that’s as good for the planet as it is for your confidence.

DesignerFriday is a full-circle movement: empowering the women who make our clothes and those who wear them. When you choose our dresses or block print bags, you’re not just wearing sustainable fashion, you’re carrying forward a story of freedom, care, and connection.

Join us in redefining fashion, one empowering stitch at a time.

What we do?

At DesignerFriday, we craft slow fashion that empowers women: both those who make them & those who wear them.

We create ethical, guilt-free pieces that redefine style with purpose. Instead of traditional factories, our stunning A-line dresses and block print bags are made in women-only, audited workshops in India, where artisans enjoy flexible hours, fair wages, and a supportive community.

These creators, empowered by a non-profit social enterprise, infuse each piece with care and joy, transforming sustainable materials into wardrobe essentials.

Our zero-waste journey begins in our London studio, where we spark creativity using upcycled fabrics like old t-shirts and leftover textiles to craft mock-ups. This is where imagination weaves magic into every pattern.

These designs are then sent to our women artisans in India, who bring them to life using organic cotton and non-toxic dyes, ensuring your skin and the planet stay healthy. Every stitch reflects our commitment to ethical production and timeless style, empowering you to wear your values with pride.

Our Goals

At DesignerFriday, our goal is to empower mid-size women to embrace their unique beauty through sustainable, comfortable fashion. Championing sustainability, comfort, and confidence, we craft ethical A-line dresses and block print bags that feel like a second skin, made with organic cotton and non-toxic dyes.

We reject size labels to celebrate every shape and colour, encouraging you to wear what you love with pride, just as you are—a queen in your own story.

Our breathable, ethically sourced fabrics, created by women artisans in flexible, women-only workshops, ensure you feel at ease and empowered. Designed to fit up to a UK size 16 with flattering cuts and practical pockets, our pieces are your go-to for effortless style. We’re committed to size inclusivity, offering bespoke sizing to ensure every woman feels seen and valued.

By choosing DesignerFriday, you’re not just wearing fashion, you’re supporting women creators and a healthier planet, all while shining in your own way.

Ethical Fashion

Female Empowerment

The Covid-19 pandemic exposed the dark side of fast fashion, cancelled orders, overflowing landfills, and a massive carbon footprint. At DesignerFriday, we saw an opportunity to create change, one empowering stitch at a time. We used these excess fabrics to redefine fashion with purpose, turning waste into wonder and empowerment into action.

In our London studio, we spark creativity by upcycling leftover fabrics, think old t-shirts and surplus cotton, into unique, stylish mock-ups. These designs come to life in women-only workshops in India, where artisans work in a flexible, non-traditional setting, supported by a non-profit social enterprise. Paid above a living wage, these women balance their craft with their lives as mothers and dreamers, infusing each piece with care and joy. Since our founding, we’ve empowered over 50 artisans, helping them thrive and support their communities.

Using organic cotton and non-toxic dyes, our sustainable pieces nurture your skin and the planet, offering mid-size women comfortable, flattering styles that reject fast fashion’s harmful impact. We’re transparent about our supply chains because we believe in informed choices. When you wear DesignerFriday, you’re not just choosing fashion—you’re supporting women creators and a healthier world.
