The Frill Kimono

A celebration of colour, culture and evolving identity.

Inspired by the expressive colour and celebratory dress of Cape Malay women, the Frill Kimono brings this influence into conversation with the richness of the Banarasi sari - a textile traditionally associated with ceremony and celebration.

Reimagined through layers of colour, pattern and movement, the garment reflects what sits at the heart of Sari for Change: heritage not as something fixed, but something we inherit, reinterpret and make our own.
