Cut from 100% silk with a subtle ribbed texture woven in France, ‘The Garden She Carries’ short dress is designed with a fitted bust and waist that open into a softly sculpted skirt, gently curving inward at the hem. The fully silk-lined construction provides a smooth feel against the skin while maintaining structure and drape. The surface is embellished by hand with Swarovski crystals and fine beadwork. Each motif is originally hand-drawn in the atelier before being translated into stitched ornamentation, resulting in a precise, textural finish that references rural garden-inspired patterns in a contemporary way. A concealed back zip preserves the clean lines of the silhouette. The dress is made to order, with a lead time of approximately 8–10 weeks, allowing the atelier to execute the detailed embellishment and finishing techniques. Custom colours are available upon request; clients are invited to contact the atelier to discuss bespoke options. This piece can also be made to individual measurements, with custom sizing incurring an additional fee starting at +40%. Following purchase, the atelier will reach out to confirm measurements, fit preferences, and final pricing before production begins. Consider styling with minimal jewellery and refined footwear to allow the embroidered and beaded detailing to remain the focus.

Founder & Creative Director — Handan London Wearable Art | Slow & Conscious Couture
Handan is a London-based fashion designer and the founder of Handan London, a slow couture house where fashion becomes wearable art. Born in Istanbul and shaped by a background in advertising and storytelling, she approaches design as an emotional dialogue—creating garments that express individuality through art, narrative, and craftsmanship. Working primarily with natural fabrics, especially silk, each piece is made to order and crafted with intention. Her collections move beyond seasonal trends, focusing on timeless elegance, personal expression, and conscious luxury. Alongside couture pieces, Handan introduces One-of-One creations made from carefully sourced deadstock fabrics. These very limited garments honour sustainable making while offering a rare, more approachable ready-to-wear expression of the brand—each piece unique and impossible to reproduce. Designed for confident, expressive women, Handan London brings together storytelling, artistry, and thoughtful design in every creation.
