Will it fit me?

Each size covers more ground.

There are sizes. They just stretch further than most. Because these pieces tie, wrap and cinch where you want them, a single size covers bodies a standard chart would split into two so the number matters less than where you decide to close it.

Infinity dresses

One length of cloth, tied a different way every time. It works through weight changes, through a pregnancy, and through the difference between a Tuesday and a wedding.
Wrap tops

You decide where it closes and how close it sits. Define your waist, or don’t.
Corset belts

Cinches over something you already own, as much or as little as you want.

The measurements for each size are on its product page.

OUR STORY

Made by hand, in Leeds.

Every Sanyan piece is cut and sewn by hand here in Leeds, in West African cotton print. No factory line, no thousand-unit runs which is why no two of the same dress are ever cut from quite the same part of the cloth.

It's also why the fit works the way it does. An infinity dress ties a different way each time you wear it. A wrap top closes where you want it to. Bodies change through a week, a year, a pregnancy and I made these to change with them, rather than be replaced.

NO PINS. NO FUSS. JUST EXPRESSIVE VERSATILITY.

Build Your Headwrap Bundle & Save

Designed with a hidden wire, each headwrap styles in seconds no pins, no fuss, just expressive versatility. Mix, match and stock up on your favourites: 1 for £38, 2 for £70, 3 for £99, or 4 for £120. The more you bundle, the more you save.

West African cotton

The cloth comes first.

Every piece starts as a length of West African cotton print bold, heavy enough to hold a shape, and never quite the same twice. It’s why two of the same dress never look identical.
