This one-of-a-kind set is crafted from a reclaimed silk sari, transforming the original textile into a contemporary two-piece silhouette while preserving its intricate woven detailing. The sari’s ornate borders and contrasting motifs have been thoughtfully positioned throughout the design, allowing the richness and craftsmanship of the original textile to remain at the centre of the piece.
The set features a softly structured wrap-style jacket with a coordinating sash that defines the waist, paired with fluid, wide-leg pants. Luminous silver is contrasted with deep indigo blue, while intricate woven motifs and decorative borders create depth across the jacket and trouser hems. The natural lustre of the silk gives the set an elegant fluidity, shifting beautifully as it catches the light.
Size: Medium: UK 10–12 / EU 38–40
Fabric: Reclaimed silk sari in luminous silver and deep indigo blue, featuring intricate woven motifs and ornate contrasting borders. Soft, fluid, and naturally lustrous, the silk gives the garment an elevated drape while retaining the richness of the original textile.
Styling Tip: Wear together as a statement co-ord, cinching the jacket with the coordinating sash for a defined silhouette. The pieces can also be worn separately - style the jacket over a simple dress or tailored trousers, or pair the wide-leg pants with a minimal blouse or fitted top to highlight the silk’s intricate weave.
Wash Care: Dry clean recommended to preserve the silk’s lustre, colour, woven detailing, and structure.

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.
