One of a kind, crafted from sheer organza with Banarasi detailing, this kimono features a vibrant turquoise base with delicate floral motifs and subtle embellishment. The lower portion transitions into a striking pink and lavender Banarasi panel, woven with intricate botanical patterns and metallic detailing.

Banarasi is a traditional Indian textile originating from Varanasi (formerly Banaras), known for its intricate weaving, rich patterns and metallic detailing. Its ornate finish contrasts beautifully with the light, translucent organza.

Designed with dramatic bell sleeves, a long flowing silhouette and a coordinating self-tie belt, it can be worn open or cinched at the waist

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.
