One of a kind piece inspired by the quiet luminosity of Banarasi textiles, the Noor Set reimagines heritage craftsmanship through a refined, modern co-ord silhouette. Crafted from a vintage Banarasi sari handwoven in Varanasi, this fabric is created on traditional looms through an intricate process that can take up to six months to complete. Each motif is formed slowly, thread by thread, resulting in the dense weave, subtle structure, and signature shimmer that Banarasi textiles are celebrated - traditionally reserved for ceremonial and heirloom garments.
The set features a short, structured jacket that highlights the richness and sculptural quality of the silk, paired with fluid, elasticated pants designed for comfort and ease. Named Noor, meaning light in Arabic, the co-ord reflects the gentle glow woven into every thread - timeless, considered, and effortlessly wearable.
Size: Large (UK 14–16 / EU 42–44)
Fabric: A refined Banarasi organza in soft gold and black tones, woven with delicate repeating motifs that shimmer subtly across the surface. Light yet gently structured, the fabric holds its shape while catching the light, luminous, and quietly ceremonial.
Styling Tip: Wear together as a statement co-ord, or style the jacket with simple black trousers and the pants with a minimal top to let the Banarasi weave take centre stage.
Wash Care: Cold hand wash recommended to preserve the fabric’s delicate weave, structure, and natural sheen.

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.
