IN THE PRESS
They have provided jobs to hundreds of underprivileged women over the past 10 years, who work here giving saris a second life.
Where most people see a pile of old clothes, the team of I was a Sari sees the potential to create contemporary fashion.
Unitedly, they (Gucci and I was a Sari) facilitated training for women from marginalised communities in Mumbai to become skilled artisans and embroiderers.
Gucci expands its support to I was a Sari who offers unskilled Indian women the opportunity to become expert artisans and achieve economic independence.
Saris become the present and future of a female community in Bombay, which thanks to I was a Sari will have a better future.
A welcome step in the zero-waste fashion community, since every inch of the drape finds home in a reformed product.
I was a Sari is a circular fashion brand that reuses sari scraps and, at the same time, a social enterprise that transforms disadvantaged women into skilled economically independent artisans.
