      All I was a Sari jackets and coats are handmade by skilled women artisans in Mumbai using pre-loved sari fabrics.
      By working with existing textiles, the brand supports ethical production practices while extending the life of richly patterned materials.

      The jacket styles in this collection are designed for ease and versatility.

      Cropped silhouettes, quilted layers, and structured shapes make these pieces ideal for everyday layering — whether worn over dresses, shirts, or knitwear.

      Statement Coats with Fluid Silhouettes and Soft Structure

      From wrap-style coats to flowing outer layers, each coat is designed to move naturally with the body.
      Lightweight fabrics, relaxed fits, and sari-inspired drape create coats that feel effortless while remaining expressive and distinctive.

      One-of-a-Kind Jackets and Coats with Unique Prints

      Every jacket and coat reflects the sari it was made from.
      Variations in colour, pattern, and texture ensure that no two pieces are ever the same — making each outer layer personal, expressive, and truly one of a kind.

      Circular Fashion Outerwear Rooted in Craftsmanship

      Each jacket and coat begins with a textile that already exists.
      Through upcycling and skilled craftsmanship, I was a Sari transforms discarded sari fabrics into durable outerwear, supporting a circular approach to fashion designed to last beyond seasons.
