Crafted from a luxurious silk Banarasi sari, this piece features a deep raspberry and garnet base scattered with delicate gold embroidered motifs throughout. The design is elevated by intricate gold Banarasi piping that outlines the lapels, pockets, cuffs and front opening, creating a refined contrast against the rich saturated tones.
The original sari's artistry is thoughtfully preserved through every detail, from the subtle embroidered motifs that dance across the fabric to the striking navy heritage border panels revealed at the back hem. These carefully placed elements honour the textile's history while transforming it into a contemporary statement piece designed for modern wardrobes.
Lightweight with a beautiful fluid drape, the trench can be worn open for effortless layering or cinched at the waist to create a more structured silhouette. It transitions seamlessly from everyday elegance to occasion dressing, making it a versatile wardrobe heirloom.
Size: Medium (UK 10–12)
Fabric: Silk Banarasi Sari with Gold Embroidered Motifs
The reverse reveals an unexpected composition of deep navy heritage panels adorned with delicate motifs and finished with intricate woven borders. This thoughtful contrast transforms the garment into a piece that is just as captivating from the back as it is from the front.
Styling Tip: Pair with dark denim and boots for elevated daytime dressing, or layer over monochromatic tailoring and dresses to allow the rich berry tones and intricate Banarasi detailing to take centre stage.
As with every Sari for Change piece, this trench exists entirely one-of-one — thoughtfully reimagined from reclaimed heritage textiles and designed to be worn, treasured and passed on for generations.
