A discarded sari, once cherished in a closet, is handed to us to empower a woman.
From the donation of the sari to the upskilling of women in underserved communities, and finally to the conscious consumer, this process embodies a circular economy - transforming a once-loved garment into a unique piece, preventing it from ending in a landfill.
We invite customers to see how a heritage sari can be worn across cultures.
Each sari becomes a one-of-a-kind garment, as exclusive as the wearer.
