A discarded sari, once cherished in a closet, is handed to us to empower a woman.

From the donation of the sari to the upskilling of women in underserved communities, and finally to the conscious consumer, this process embodies a circular economy - transforming a once-loved garment into a unique piece, preventing it from ending in a landfill.

We invite customers to see how a heritage sari can be worn across cultures.

Each sari becomes a one-of-a-kind garment, as exclusive as the wearer.

Reviews

  • I bought my first one in December 2023 - now I’ve lost count after 20! I’ve replaced my boardroom suits with soft, elegant kimonos that go from meeting to beach with just a change of shoes. They’re so light, you could pack ten in your hand luggage!

  • I received the dress (and the stunning scarf and beautiful bag it came in) — and it’s without question the most exquisite item in my wardrobe.

    I’m completely torn between wearing it every chance I get or saving it for the most special occasions. Thank you!

    - Alice

  • At times, I meet entrepreneurs who inspire me - not by how much they make, but by their impact on others’ lives.

    Their story is a reminder that entrepreneurship can be a force for good. May more entrepreneurs seek to be the change our world needs.

Our first capsule traces the textures of Johannesburg - its grit and gold, its contradictions and beauty. Crafted from curated saris and sewn by women in Cosmo City and Yeoville, each piece embodies becoming. Trenches, bombers, and shifts - seasonless silhouettes hand-finished with mapline embroidery and floral beading.

A quiet resistance. A global belonging.
