Repurposed Silk - The Silk Sari Stories
Your sari silk has seen some things, and if it could speak each panel would have a sari story to tell. Starting off as a beautiful sari skirt, each repurposed silks' individual strips of fabric have lived many lives. Maybe it remembers drifting through an open-air market in New Delhi, mingling with the spicy-sweet scent of curry and the lively hum of voices. It may recall the warmth of woodfire, the flavor of home-brewed chai steeped with cardamom and clove, or fluttering atop a train, savoring the desert landscape. Maybe it remembers rickshaw rides in Jaipur, motorcycle trips in Mumbai, or drifting across Bombay by boat. Maybe it remembers the hands that boiled, threaded, dyed, stamped, and wove it. Or, maybe it remembers the hands that gave it its new life, sewn in along with other pieces of fabric, giving it life to the beautiful new form that it has today. Whether woven together as a silk panel curtain, a dreamy wrap skirt, or a reversible bag to store your essentials, now it's your turn to give it some new stories to remember...

Each story, just like each sari, varies widely but they all were told in order to be recycled into the item that is now in yours to treasure. Congratulations, it’s one of a kind, just like you, and its blemishes, textures, and colors are all a part of its story. From cocoon to fabric, from India to Maine, these repurposed fabrics have stories to tell.
What will your story be?
