One of a kind, crafted from lightweight silk cotton , this kimono features a deep indigo base accented with delicate multicolour woven motifs and contrasting magenta panels at the back. Intricate geometric trim runs along the neckline, front opening, belt, and sleeve edges, adding a refined handcrafted detail. The fabric has a soft, breathable texture with a gentle drape, making it both comfortable and structured for everyday wear.
Designed with bell sleeves, the silhouette is relaxed and elegant, offering ease and versatility. A matching self-tie belt allows for optional waist definition, making this piece suitable for elevated lounging, resort wear, or effortless day-to-evening styling.

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.
