We’re always looking forward to find that latest trend and style to make heads turn at any special occasions. Vrede is a contemporary fashion label conceptualised for the curious and expressive women who are seeking exclusive pieces for their wardrobes.

Synonymous to peace, it is not just a name for the brand but is also the primary element for its philosophy and design aesthetics. This fuses artistic prints and embellishments and high quality fabrics with exquisite craftsmanship and bespoke tailoring, giving shape to the bold and quirky ideas. The inspirations are handpicked from anything which has the ability to trigger an essence of peacefulness into the wearers’ and viewers’ minds.

The collections celebrates the joy of freedom, dreams, oldies, routines and tranquillity, depicted using a wide range of soothing and innovative colour schemes, prints and handmade ornamentations on various exotic fabrics.

Vrede is aimed at women who are fashion forward and are not afraid of experimenting with different cuts, styles, prints and fabrics. It not only caters to young, independent women but also considers older women who cannot buy high street fashion apparels. It refuses to express fashion by age and concentrates on structured and individualistic attires.
