Sustainable Women's Clothing, Handcrafted from Upcycled Saris
I was a Sari makes sustainable women's clothing from upcycled saris: dresses, tops and blouses, skirts, pants, kimonos, kaftans, bomber jackets and nightwear. Every piece is one of a kind.
Each garment is handcrafted by women artisans in Mumbai from a single pre-loved sari, so its print, colour and drape can never be repeated. The result is expressive, comfortable fashion made with zero textile waste.
What makes I was a Sari clothing sustainable?
Every piece is made from an existing sari rather than new fabric, keeping textiles out of landfill. Production is small-batch and entirely hand-finished, and each purchase funds skills training and fair income for women artisans in India. Read more about our approach to sustainability.
What's included in the clothing collection?
The collection spans everyday essentials and statement pieces:
- Tops & blouses: sleeveless blouses, slip tops, resort shirts and belted shirts in one-of-a-kind sari prints.
- Dresses: swing dresses, maxi tiered dresses, wrap dresses and shirt dresses for day and occasion.
- Skirts and pants: tiered skirts, palazzo trousers, pull-on pants and shorts that move with you.
- Jumpsuits & playsuits: easy one-piece outfits with lace details.
- Light coats: sunset coats, bell sleeve coats, beach robes and waistcoats for transitional layering.
- Kimonos and kaftans: flowing throw-on layers for travel and warm days.
- Bomber jackets: our signature cropped jacket, also available in an embroidered version.
- Co-ord sets: matching two-pieces, styled together or apart.
- Nightwear & loungewear: soft, breathable pieces for rest and slow mornings.
Why is every garment unique?
Because each one starts from a different sari, no two pieces share the same colour, print or drape. That makes every garment personal, timeless and seasonless by design.
