The sariKNOTsari Up-Cycled Vintage Pure Silk Collection is a comfortable and elegant pure silk clothing line inspired by a desire to ethically repurpose high-quality vintage silk saris. SariKNOTsari helps alleviate the problems caused by the fast fashion industry. First of all, our clothing is made using vintage fabrics, giving them a second life and keeping the fabric out of landfills. Second, when fabric arrives to us damaged, we patch it where possible or use it to make scrunchies or pouches thereby reducing waste. Third, we pride ourselves on the quality of our craftsmanship—our clothes are sewn with the goal of creating pieces that can handle being washed and worn often. Our silks are also hand-washable so that there is no need to dry-clean and create additional chemical pollution in our waterways. Fourth, we recognize that a woman’s body is always changing so we design draped clothing that is one-size fits all and size-inclusive. As well, a portion of all sariKNOTsari sales goes to the Save the Elephants Organization to help protect the animals of our planet! Finally, we only produce our clothing in small batches and our clothes are made by hand, which reduces our brand’s manufacturing-related carbon footprint while providing a safe working environment and fair wages to our Indian team of tailors. Our goal is to help change the way people think about fashion.
