One-of-one garment. Crafted in Johannesburg. Reclaimed heritage textiles. DHL worldwide shipping

Crafted from a lightweight silk sari textile, the fabric offers a soft sheen and graceful drape. The kimono features straight, full-length sleeves, an elegant open-front silhouette and a coordinating violet self-tie belt, allowing for adjustable definition at the waist. Ornate golden borders frame the neckline and front opening, while the richly patterned sleeves and back lend a distinctive, luxurious finish.

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.
