Our Sustainability Efforts
The sariKNOTsari Upcycled 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 with an eye towards sustainability.
Our clothing is made using vintage fabrics, giving them a second life and keeping the fabric out of landfills.
When fabric arrives to us damaged, we patch it where possible or use it to make scrunchies or pouches thereby reducing waste.
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.
We recognize that a woman’s body is always changing so we design draped clothing that is one-size fits all and size-inclusive.
STEP 1:
Click on the link above that says Find your Favourite Style, and there you will see a description of each of our 20-or-so styles along with a bit of an explanation of what they look like and which body type they best suit. That should help you narrow down your search.
STEP 2:
Once you pick the style you think will work for you–for example, the side slit top, or the midi length kaftan–you should go to that section in our website and have a look at what fabric options we have in that particular style. We get new fabrics all the time so you can keep an eye on the style that you like and when you see that perfect fabric come in you should definitely jump on it because, like I said, it’s one of a kind.
SIZING:
In order to be size-inclusive, what we’ve done is we’ve created different styles that are one size fits all, BUT some of them will fit from a size 2 to a size 12, some from size 2 to 18, and some from size 2 to size 3X. The way that we do that is we use the natural drape of the silk fabrics that we work with.
Each fabric that we use–each vintage silk sari–is handpicked by the owner who makes sure that the colours are extraordinary and that the fabrics are so soft against your skin.
Most of our customers are pleasantly surprised when a piece reaches them. We often hear, “I thought it was nice online. I can’t believe how much nicer it is in person!”
We’re happy to send you pictures if you’re not sure about something you see online. Just send us a message and we will send you a video.
We’d love to work with you to help you find clothing that makes you feel your absolute best, that allows you to express yourself, and that allows room for your body to evolve.
