One of a kind garment crafted from lustrous upcycled sari silk barnasari, this kimono is rendered in a vivid cobalt blue adorned with delicate gold motifs that shimmer softly against the fabric’s natural sheen. Intricate metallic borders frame the neckline, cuffs, and hem, drawing from traditional sari detailing and adding a rich, heritage-inspired finish.
Designed with classic straight sleeves, the silhouette is relaxed yet polished, offering ease of movement while maintaining structure. Decorative tassel accents at the sleeve edges add a subtle artisanal touch.

One-of-One Craftsmanship
Every Sari for Change garment is entirely one-of-one.
Crafted from reclaimed heritage textiles, each piece carries its own history, character, and unique markings. Variations in weave, embroidery, texture, colour, and minor imperfections are part of the beauty of the regenerative process and should not be considered faults.
These characteristics are a reflection of the textile's journey and make each garment impossible to replicate.
