Christmas Gift Guide

The Christmas edit

Christmas gifts that were once a sari. Now they carry its story.

Hand-embroidered ornaments, scarves, jewellery, loungewear and jackets, made by women artisans in Mumbai from saris that already lived a life. Almost every piece exists only once, so whoever unwraps it gets something nobody else has.

Order by 8 December with Express shipping for delivery before Christmas.

Festive ornaments

Handmade Christmas ornaments for a tree with a past

Each ornament is cut from a pre-loved sari, filled with organic cotton and finished by hand with silk and metallic thread. No two come out the same, so your tree ends up looking like nobody else's.

  • Timeless

    Soft sari fabric and hand-stitched lines. The everyday classic, easy to give by the handful.

  • Cheer

    Beads, pearls and sequins embroidered onto bright prints. Made to catch the fairy lights.

  • Precious

    Gold or silver tones with pearls, crystals and a beaded tassel. The one that comes out first every year.

Christmas gift ideas

A gift for everyone on the list

We looked at what people gave most last Christmas and picked the pieces that carry the same spirit. Each one is made by hand from a sari that had a life before this one.

Little gifts, big smiles

Stocking fillers and Secret Santa saves.

Gifts to wear all winter

Scarves, earrings and slippers they will reach for every day.

The gift they will remember

Our bomber jacket, cut from one sari and lined with another. Last Christmas it was the big gift people chose most.

Gifts they will use every day

For the desk, the commute and the bathroom shelf. Practical, and still one of a kind.

For the host and the home

A bottle that arrives dressed up, a stocking to fill, a cushion for the sofa.

Pyjama set made from a pre-loved sari

For Christmas morning

Pyjamas and robes cut from a sari

Soft, printed and made to be lived in: pyjama sets with lace trim and kimono robes for slow mornings, cut by hand from pre-loved saris. The gift they open first and wear all day.

Who made your gift

Every gift is also a job, a skill and a future

Each piece is cut, stitched and finished by a woman artisan in our Mumbai workshop. Many joined us without ever having had a job. Today they earn fair wages, learn new skills and lead teams of their own.

Good to know before you gift

When should I order for Christmas delivery?

By 8 December with Express shipping, or by 24 November with Eco shipping, for delivery to Europe, the UK and the US before Christmas.

Is every piece really one of a kind?

Almost always. Each piece is cut from a single pre-loved sari, so prints and colours change from one to the next. When a piece is gone, it is gone, which is a good reason not to leave it to the last week.

Can I send a gift straight to someone else?

Yes. Enter their name and address as the shipping address at checkout and we will send it directly to them.

Will there be extra charges on delivery?

For the EU, VAT and duties are collected at checkout. In the US, all duties and taxes are included in the price. UK orders pay nothing extra on delivery. For other countries, local import charges may apply. Shipping policy

How are the ornaments made?

They are cut from pre-loved sari fabric, filled with organic cotton and finished by hand with silk and metallic thread. Cheer and Precious ornaments are also embroidered with beads, pearls or crystals.

Before they're gone

This year, give something nobody else will unwrap.

One sari, one piece, one person lucky enough to receive it.
