Like Daughters of India but on this side of the world?

[LoudNowSing]

I splashed out recently and bought a dress from Daughters of India, who I saw advertised on an FB site. I absolutely love the dress, and love the ethos of the company. I am far less enamoured by the 51 euros I had to pay in customs duties, however. It's made a "splash-out" much splashier than I'd intended or can afford, tbh.

Anyone know of a Daughters of India-style place in Europe or the UK?

Depends if you're looking for the folksy/block print stuff or the linens but these places have bits of either with usually similar ethos:

www.voriagh.com/
www.indiandcold.com/world/
gimaguas.com/
www.soeur.fr/
www.antikbatik.com/ (often can be found heavily discounted on the Outnet)

And second hand you can search for the A.P.C. Madras collection.

Oh, thank you very much @botemp. I will investigate those.

I think I'm looking for the swishiness, really. My DOI dress is delightfully swishy.

If it's swishy you like also look at Ba&sh although the fabrics can be a bit crap at times, especially considering the prices. Mes Demoiselles also has lovely flowy and swishy silhouettes, better fabrics but on the expensive side and no good if you're very small (size wise, unless you can pull of that drowning petite thing).

An Indian Summer is good quality.

Portobello Road Princess has some similar style dresses.

I discovered this company on Mumsnet. They do the most beautiful dresses and are so helpful pinklemons.boutique/collections/block-print-prairie-dress

You'll pay the same €51 customs if you order from the UK.
