WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

Min Waste | Max Respect

I was a Sari is an award-winning, Mumbai-meets-Milan fashion label using Indian saris to create guilt-free looks that are truly Instagrammable.

Our local team of women transform upcycled materials into conversation pieces fit for a meeting in Manhattan, a bash in Barcelona or a Balinese retreat.

In a world driven by profits, I was a Sari is made with good karma – moving women forward and protecting our environment. A zero-dividend company, we invest all our profits back into transforming the lives of our artisans. We want more businesses to buzz with kindness. Are you in?
