Crafted from reclaimed vintage sari fabric, this one-of-a-kind Sari Babouche brings together rich olive green and deep crimson silk, elevated by intricate gold woven detailing inspired by centuries of Indian textile craftsmanship. The bold colour blocking and metallic accents create a refined balance between heritage artistry and contemporary design, transforming reclaimed textiles into a timeless statement piece.
Inspired by the traditional Moroccan babouche and handcrafted using reclaimed sari offcuts, each pair celebrates the beauty of circular craftsmanship. No two pairs are ever alike, making every Babouche a truly collectible piece.
Size: 5
Every Sari Babouche is handcrafted using reclaimed sari offcuts that would otherwise go to waste, transforming overlooked fragments into timeless wearable art. Created in collaboration with Zimmerman & Co., each pair supports circular fashion while celebrating traditional craftsmanship across cultures.
Because every pair is made from reclaimed heritage textiles, no two Sari Babouches will ever be repeated - making each one as unique as the story woven into its fabric.

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.
