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

Lightweight and fluid, this jacket features a relaxed open-front silhouette with a soft drape that moves effortlessly over the body. The sheer quality of the textile gives the piece an airy, delicate feel, making it an easy statement layer for warmer days.

Size: Large (UK 14–16)

Crafted from a reclaimed sheer sari, this one-of-a-kind piece combines a soft pistachio-green body with contrasting vibrant green sleeves. The main textile is scattered with delicate abstract florals in violet, magenta, white and touches of green, creating a painterly effect across the semi-sheer surface.

The sleeves introduce a richer expression of the original sari, featuring intricate floral and paisley-inspired motifs in purple, yellow, ivory and green. Decorative horizontal borders add further detail, creating a striking contrast against the softer floral body while retaining a sense of harmony across the garment.

Styling Tip: Layer over a simple camisole, slip dress or tonal separates to highlight the beautiful sheer quality of the textile. Pair with white or cream for a fresh summer look, or draw out the purple and green accents for a more expressive approach.

Wash Care: Gentle cold hand wash recommended to preserve the delicate sheer reclaimed textile and printed detailing. Line dry in the shade and avoid harsh detergents.

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.
