When you dream of days filled with sunshine, love, ocean waves, and music. Our Dreams Collection is all about finding joy and magic in the ordinary. Designed in Brisbane by our founder and ethically handmade with a traditionally spun silk “Chanderi” from the heart of India in Madhya Pradesh, the Dreams dresses are dyed and printed using one of the national crafts of India, called “Batik”, and stitched one-at-a-time by local dressmakers. The dress features delicate hand embroidery and a spectacular flare.
Slow
fashion
We believe in crafting small batches of a few timeless and elegant designs every few months. The elaborate hand dyeing and hand stitching process makes it impossible for us to mass or factory produce.
Natural & organic
Only 100% nature fibers like cotton, silk, and linen are used for our garments, including natural dyes. Made with superior craftsmanship, our garments are designed to honour the body’s natural evolution, meant to last, and are fully biodegradable.
Ethically handcrafted
We are supporting indigenous families and artisans around the hometown of our founder, Scarlett, ensuring welfare, empowerment, and meaningful relationships. Preserving culture and tradition – The textile crafts used on our fabrics are ancient and have deep cultural and heritage significance.
Zero plastic & zero waste
We do not use any plastic in production or packaging. We use the offcuts and scraps of fabric from our garments to craft beautiful matching accessories, gifted with each design as complimentary extras to ensure nothing ends in landfill.
Body
positivity
A piece of clothing should never be a source of doubt or discontent about your body. Each seam, every cut, and all designs are crafted with the recognition that they are meant to adapt to you, not the other way around.

I am in love with my Lavender Dreams dress. If there was a photo upload option, I’d have shown how flattering it looks. Such a unique design, and probably the best pockets I have ever had in a dress. I only recently found out about this brand and they have a great story and history behind them. Can’t wait to try more designs! Would recommend adding a photo option to Secrets of the East team so people can share their looks! ❤️
