This one-of-a-kind set is crafted from a reclaimed Banarasi silk sari, celebrating the centuries-old weaving tradition of Varanasi, India. Renowned for their intricate brocade weaving, ornate motifs and metallic zari threads, Banarasi saris can take up to six months to handweave, reflecting the extraordinary skill behind this heritage textile.
The set features a softly structured wrap-style jacket with a coordinating waist sash, paired with fluid, wide-leg pants. Luminous silver and deep indigo blue are complemented by intricate woven motifs and ornate borders, while the silk's natural lustre lends an elegant, fluid drape.
Size: Medium | UK 8–10
Fabric: Reclaimed Banarasi silk sari in luminous silver and deep indigo blue, featuring intricate woven motifs and ornate contrasting borders.
Styling Tip: Wear together as an elegant statement co-ord, cinching the jacket at the waist, or style separately. Pair the jacket with tailored trousers or the wide-leg pants with a minimal blouse to showcase the silk's intricate detailing.
Wash Care: Gentle hand wash in cold water.

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.
