Sustainable Bomber Jackets Made from Upcycled Saris
The bomber jacket is the signature piece of I was a Sari: a cropped, lined jacket cut from a single pre-loved sari, colourful inside and out. Each one is handcrafted by women artisans in Mumbai, so no two jackets share the same print.
Easy to layer and made to last, it is the piece our customers come back for season after season.
What makes our bomber jackets different?
Every bomber is made from existing sari fabric rather than new material, with a contrasting sari lining that makes it look just as good worn open. Ribbed cuffs, collar and hem keep the shape clean and comfortable.
Bomber jacket styles
- Classic bomber jacket: our original cropped style in one-of-a-kind prints.
- Embroidered bomber jacket: the classic shape with hand-embroidered motifs.
- Heart bomber jacket: twin front zips and embroidered hearts on the collar.
How to wear a bomber jacket
Throw it over a dress for contrast, pair it with a slip top and pants, or wear it with a midi tiered skirt. The cropped length works well with high-waisted shapes.
Why choose a sari bomber jacket?
Each jacket gives a pre-loved sari a second life and supports fair, dignified work for women artisans in India. Because every sari is different, your jacket is truly one of a kind.
