Sustainable Home & Décor, Handcrafted from Upcycled Saris

I Was a Sari makes sustainable home pieces from upcycled saris and reclaimed fabrics: décor, festive ornaments, stationery, dining accessories and everyday utilities, each one one of a kind.

Every piece is handcrafted by women artisans in Mumbai, so its print and texture are unrepeatable. The result is functional, characterful design made with zero textile waste.

What makes I Was a Sari home pieces sustainable?

Each piece is made from existing sari fabric rather than new materials, keeping textiles out of landfill. Production is hand-finished and small-batch, and every purchase supports fair, dignified work for women artisans in India.

What's included in the home collection?

The collection brings craft and character to every corner of the home:

  • Festive ornaments: Handmade decorations for seasons and celebrations.
  • Décor & dining: Cushion covers, throws and table linens in unique prints.
  • Stationery: Notebooks, cards and desk pieces with a conscious story.
  • Utility: Practical organisers and lifestyle essentials.

Why is every piece unique?

Because each one is made from a different sari, no two pieces share the same colour, print or texture. Every piece is personal, distinctive and timeless.

Made by women artisans in Mumbai

From cutting to finishing, every piece is shaped by hand — circular craftsmanship that turns discarded textiles into lasting, functional objects.
