Celebrating Evolving Identity
A Second Life
Turning heritage textiles into upcyled, sustainable, one-of-a-kind resort and occasion wear.
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.

The Cartography of Us
Our first capsule traces the textures of Johannesburg - its grit and gold, its contradictions and beauty. Crafted from curated saris and sewn by women in Cosmo City and Yeoville, each piece embodies becoming. Trenches, bombers, and shifts - seasonless silhouettes hand-finished with mapline embroidery and floral beading.
A quiet resistance. A global belonging.
