One of a kind and crafted from a reclaimed cotton-silk blend sari, this reversible kimono offers two distinct expressions in one garment. Rich red tones are paired with intricate cream and red heritage motifs, allowing the original sari borders and patterns to become part of the design.
One side features a predominantly red body with contrasting patterned detailing, while the reverse reveals more of the sari’s intricate print through the sleeves and trims. The cotton-silk blend gives the piece a beautiful balance of structure, softness and fluidity.
A coordinating wrap belt allows the silhouette to be cinched at the waist or worn open for a more relaxed look.

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.
