The Safiri Jacket reimagines reclaimed heritage textiles through a softly structured quilted silhouette designed for warmth, layering, and movement through season.
“Safiri,” meaning journey in Swahili, reflects the spirit of cultural movement and exchange held within the garment - where textile traditions travel across generations, regions, and contemporary dressing.
Crafted from reclaimed sari textiles in rich cobalt and turquoise tones, each jacket balances bold visual storytelling with everyday wearability. Ornate borders, intricate motifs, and tonal embroidery are thoughtfully preserved within the quilting, allowing the history and craftsmanship of the textile to remain visible through a contemporary silhouette.
Quilted for softness, warmth, and structure, the Safiri Jacket is designed as a statement layering piece that moves effortlessly between occasion dressing, travel, and elevated winter wear.
Each piece remains entirely one-of-one.

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.
