The Dori is a contemporary heritage brand that transforms donated saris into gender-neutral garments. The project involved building a complete identity system that feels rooted, warm, and culturally aware while remaining clean and modern. Through research into craft traditions, diaspora narratives, and sustainable fashion, the brand direction emerged as a balance of heritage and restraint. The final identity features a refined wordmark, a baya bird emblem, and a jharokha inspired frame; symbols of memory, movement, and continuity.
