One of a kind, crafted from a lightweight sheer reclaimed silk sari, this kimono features a vivid emerald green body scattered with delicate multicoloured motifs, creating a rich yet playful finish. Contrasting yellow patterned silk panels along the neckline and front opening frame the silhouette with intricate detailing in green, red and soft pink tones.
The statement bell sleeves are crafted from contrasting printed silk, featuring an ornate earthy brown design with paisley-inspired and decorative motifs. Deep patterned borders at the cuffs add further definition, while a coordinating yellow self-tie belt brings the contrasting elements together.
Designed with wide bell sleeves and a relaxed full-length silhouette, the lightweight silk creates beautiful fluidity and movement.

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.
