In Eastern philosophy, an Avatar is an incarnation that teaches how to evolve virtues of the past into the present. The Pure Upcycled Silk Avatar Collection is made from vintage pure silk saris, chosen and worn by women in the past to celebrate their lives.
If you look very closely, you will see that the silks in this collection show some of the character of their previous incarnations through the appliqués that have been lovingly applied to bring new life to the fabric. This piece is a reminder that we are part of a collective journey to which we all add a little something.
Our customer-favourite boxy top now comes with side slits for a more comfortable fit around your hips. Reversible and round necked on both sides, this style can be worn alone or layered with other pieces. One size fits from size 2-18; please refer to product measurements for exact sizing.

You may find some appliqués and/or very minor thread pulls on pieces in this collection.
The Wabi Sabi Collection
Wabi sabi pieces have flaws that we have tried to highlight in the images. We feel these pieces are still beautiful to wear and in most cases, you are the only one who will know that the piece has "flaws". Please look closely at the pictures and the video in the product images to learn about the flaws in the particular piece in which you are interested.
