KUPU - Shirt Dress
From work to weekend, meet the dress you need all year round. Made with absolute comfort in mind, our Shirt Dress is meant to help you look effortlessly chic as you power through errands, change the world, or going to the local market. Wear open or closed with a removable fabric belt for additional versatility.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- A dress for any occasion. Day or night.
- So comfortable. We don't believe in beauty pains. Or sacrificing movement to wear something pretty. The side slits make it possible for you to run errands while looking amazing.
- You can still move. We are no fan of compromising. The side slits make it possible for you to still run - even bike!
- Flatters your body type. We hosted an Open Studio recently, and this is the style that gets complements the most! We think it's the flattering collar & the tie waist, but maybe it's how it makes you feel just great.

Empowering Women
Only 2% of women who make your clothes earn a living wage. We're here to change that! Through your clothes, we're impacting over 1,282 lives in rural Indonesia.

Sustainability
It all starts with how it's made. That's why we use only natural fibres and traceable plants, preventing toxic chemicals from entering our rivers. Oh and we offer free repairs - for life!

For a Better Tomorrow
Your purchase funds craft schools in our villages and plants a tree through our reforestation programs. Because education is the key for long term change.
What if your clothes can change lives?
The truth is that every choice we make has an impact on someone’s life. Together with you, we're changing an entire industry to be clean and inclusive for women who've been kept invisible for too long.
I hope that every time you wear your most meaningful clothes, it reminds you of the impact your choices are enabling in our villages and beyond.
Thank you for choosing change!
