Product Details

The Krava Short Dress is a v-neck batwing sleeve dress, featuring the deep green Malachite Print, inspired by the distinctive, varying green mineral bands that run through the malachite stone. The Krava Short Dress features considered details throughout, including statement cuffs, centre front and back seams, and gathers along the front and back of the waist seam. Crafted from a silky ECOVERO™ blend, this Krava Short Dress has an endlessly wearable cut suited to work and weekend dressing alike.

  • Functional angled pockets.
  • Silky ECOVERO blend offers a soft shape and slight sheen.
  • Contains ECOVERO™, an ELK environmentally-preferred fibre.
  • Manufactured at a factory sourcing up to 50% of its electricity from rooftop solar.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is a man-made cellulosic fibre (MMCF), derived from wood pulp.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are recognised by CanopyStyle and EU Ecolabel certification as meeting high standards for environmental practice. This includes a low risk of sourcing raw materials from ancient or endangered forests, and the recycling of water and chemicals in the processing stages. According to Higg's life cycle impact assessment data, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generate up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose. 

Through our work with not-for-profit organisation Canopy, we are sourcing more than 95% of our viscose fibres from producers that have a green shirt rating according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. This rating is a reflection of Canopy's assessment of the producers' engagement with CanopyStyle audits, their contribution to conservation, innovation initiatives, sourcing policies, transparency and chemical management.

Maker

Manufacturer: Jimmy Fashions

We have been working with Jimmy Fashions since 2010. They are a smaller, independent supplier with a focus on design and quality, and this is one of our longest standing supplier relationships. With owner Jimmy Shen and his team working closely with our Design and Production departments, this family-owned business has grown with ELK and now supplies much of our woven apparel.

In early 2024, the Jimmy had solar panels installed on the rooftop of the factory, to help provide renewable energy for their operations.

The factory also undergoes annual SMETA social compliance audits, which are conducted by a third party and provide transparency into worker wellbeing and wages. We have been sourcing our linen fabric from Tongling Worldbest for many years. This fabric mill is certified under the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful substances.
