One-of-one garment. Crafted in Johannesburg. Reclaimed heritage textiles. DHL worldwide shipping

One of a kind, crafted from lightweight organza, this kimono features a rich golden yellow base transitioning into a deep green, accented by subtle woven motifs throughout. Intricate pale green patterned borders along the neckline, front opening, sleeve cuffs, and matching belt bring contrast and a refined finish to the piece. The sheer organza construction gives the kimono an airy quality and delicate sheen while allowing the colours and woven details to catch the light beautifully.

Designed with straight sleeves, the silhouette is relaxed and elegant, falling fluidly to a full length. A matching self-tie belt allows for optional waist definition, making this piece ideal for occasion wear, resort dressing, or layering as a statement piece.

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.
