Exquisite Pure Silk Fabric
Our Upcycled Vintage Pure Silk Collection is made from vintage South Asian pure silk saris.
We hand-pick every single sari to find colours that will match your existing basics while adding a pop of personality and colour.
Because each sari consists of only 5.5 yards of fabric, we can only make one of each item which ensures that your wardrobe is as one-of-a-kind as you are!
Save the Elephants
A portion of every sariKNOTsari Upcycled Vintage Pure Silk Collection purchase goes directly to support the preservation of African elephants through the efforts of the Save the Elephants Organization.
Thanks to you, we are able to help protect these majestic, intelligent creatures from poachers and help protect their grazing lands!
Meet Our Canadian Team
Priya, the founder of sariKNOTsari, calls it the Parable of the White Linen Pants.
Each year in May, she would buy a lovely pair of white linen pants—her “forever” pants—and by the following May, those pants wouldn’t fit her anymore. So what did she do? She went out and bought another pair.
Eventually she had a stack of white pants that didn’t fit and she had to acknowledge that something wasn’t right—not with her, but with the fashion industry.
As we all know, the definition of insanity is doing the same this over and over again and expecting a different outcome. So Priya decided to reclaim her sanity.
She decided that if she were in charge of fashion, she would make clothes that would always fit, regardless of how her body evolved. She would use vintage fabrics—why add new pollution for fabric production to the environment? And she would demand meticulous construction from fairly paid artisans so that the clothing could stand the test of repeated washes. And thus sariKNOT sari was born!

Priya defines success as doing what you love while making a positive impact on the world! She believes that everyone can and is making a difference already.

Meet our Overseas Team
Our products are produced by a family-run small business in Delhi. The work environments are safe and clean, wages are fair and reasonable, and both men and women are employed equally.
The sariKNOTsari team here and in India stay closely connected and it's not unusual to see a one of the head-designer's children playing in the background of our regular video calls.
Our team in Delhi consists of Aanchal, her partner Sanjay and a dedicated and loyal group of tailors. Aanchal, the head designer, won the Best Designer Award in India's capital city of New Delhi 2005--a remarkable achievement given the intense design competition in India's garment industry. Aanchal's tailors have been with her for over ten years.
Saving Elephants
Living a more sustainable lifestyle also means using your spending power to improve our world for all its inhabitants. A percentage of every sariKNOTsari item sold goes directly to the Save the Elephants Organization. We encourage you to find out more about how this organization protects elephants and their grazing lands in Africa every day through donations.
