Czarina

Czarina is comfort, style, and a modern take on heritage all rolled into beautifully designed, sustainably created, and ethically produced pieces for women of any age and shape. At Czarina, our focus is on the heart of the company. We love what we do, are proud of what we design and create, and put our heart and soul into our brand so that our wearers feel confident, feminine, and comfortable when wearing our kaftans and other pieces. The heart of our company begins with the people with whom we work. Our initial mission was to produce as sustainably as possible, in factories where we could control the quality of work life for those that chose to share in our mission. Our pieces are manufactured solely in our own factory located in India, where the people that work for us are treated with fairness, equality, and respect and are paid a fair wage.

At the heart of the design process is a meticulous passion for colour, detail and fine finishings. Every craftsman and technician involved in the process has an extensive background in both traditional and modern design work, and it’s with this accumulation of talent that the Czarina design process comes together.

Drawing inspiration from travels abroad, style icons and the magical moments of everyday life, this creates fuel for the eponymous Czarina print work. A labour of love, the print design process begins with detailed hand sketching and colour sampling, whilst the other half of the design team work on the handcraft application of ornate toiles.

Watercolour and acrylic hand painting of prints come to life on canvas before they are translated into digital form. Once the fabric has been printed, hand applied embellishments of crystals and sequins are artfully sewn on by hand.

At Czarina our other focus is on the earth and the beautiful tools that it gives us to create ethical pieces of quality that don’t hurt, or leave a negative impact on our world.

Our production process is moving towards using almost entirely vegan silk to ensure that we do our part in protecting silk worms everywhere in the creation of our pieces; and that you feel that by wearing Czarina, you’re doing your little part in keeping the world safe from harm.

Our swimwear in particular is 100% sustainably made using recycled materials sourced from the ocean and processed into a nylon fabric in order to create sustainable materials for us to work with, and for you to swim in.
