We've been a bit quiet over here at Aardes. The pandemic really threw all our plans off kilter - no pop-ups, no new stockists or photoshoots, no travel to India to work closely with our producers on more sustainable ways to gently produce our annual collection, and no summer to really show off our amazing dress collection. But I started Aardes to try to understand what goes into making a responsible fashion brand, and to focus on #slowfashion, and a huge part of that was giving plenty of room for flexibility and change, to not put extra pressure on when things are already tough. So, we've gone with the flow this last year and it's been a really informative and rewarding journey. Thank you to everyone who's bought something and supported the brand, it really means so much. Our Summer Sale starts today until midnight on Monday, with 25% off across the site, just enter SUNSHINE 🌞 at checkout. We still plant a tree with every sale. 🌱 This photo was from an amazing trip to Rajasthan in 2017.
