One-of-a-kind silk kimono defined by timeless ivory, rich emerald green and intricate golden paisley detailing. Delicate floral motifs adorn the ivory base, while ornate borders in deep green, gold and amber celebrate the beauty of traditional Indian block-print artistry.
Crafted from lightweight block-printed silk sari textile, the fabric offers a soft sheen and fluid drape. Block printing is a centuries-old technique in which carved wooden blocks are dipped in dye and pressed onto fabric by hand, creating intricate patterns with subtle variations that reflect the artisan's craft.
Featuring wide, straight sleeves, an open-front silhouette and a coordinating self-tie belt, this kimono brings heritage craftsmanship into a contemporary design.

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.
