This one-of-a-kind set is crafted from a reclaimed heritage sari, reimagining the original textile into a contemporary two-piece silhouette. The sari’s vivid colour blocking, delicate floral motifs, and ornate woven borders are thoughtfully positioned throughout the garment, allowing details from the original textile to remain visible and celebrated.
The set features a short, softly structured wrap-style jacket, finished with a contrasting deep navy sash that defines the waist. It is paired with fluid, wide-leg pants that carry the sari’s original border along the hem. Vibrant fuchsia and turquoise are layered with deep navy and intricate woven detailing, creating a striking balance of colour, movement, and heritage craft.
Size: Medium: UK 10–12 / EU 38–40
Fabric: Reclaimed sari textile in vibrant fuchsia and turquoise blue, featuring delicate multicoloured floral motifs and richly woven decorative borders. Lightweight with a subtle lustre and fluid drape, the textile brings together bold colour with intricate heritage detailing.
Styling Tip: Wear together as a statement co-ord, cinching the jacket with the contrasting sash to define the silhouette. The pieces can also be styled separately — pair the jacket with simple tailored trousers or denim, or wear the wide-leg pants with a minimal blouse or fitted top to allow the textile to take centre stage.
Wash Care: Gentle cold hand wash or dry clean recommended to preserve the textile’s colour, woven detailing, and structure.

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.
