A one-of-a-kind reversible Raya shawl, handcrafted by Rayana from reclaimed silk sari cloth.
As founder of Sari for Change, Rayana carefully selects vintage sari fragments - chosen for their softness, colour, character, and story - and transforms them by hand into pieces meant to be worn and treasured again. Each shawl is thoughtfully composed, stitched, and finished by her, giving new life to fabrics once part of another journey.
This piece brings together an unexpected palette of olive green, soft lilac, dusty rose, and warm terracotta. Delicate woven motifs sit quietly across the silk, while richly patterned sections introduce intricate floral and geometric detailing. It reverses to a vibrant composition of fuchsia and pink silk, where abstract botanical motifs and expressive washes of colour create an entirely different mood.
The contrast is what makes this piece particularly special - earthy and understated on one side, vivid and expressive on the other. The natural lustre of the silk gives each colour a subtle depth, shifting gently as the fabric catches the light.
Lightweight, fluid, and beautifully draped, it carries both history and renewal in every fold. No two are ever alike.

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.
