Ethical Necklaces Handcrafted by Women Artisans in India
All I Was a Sari necklaces are handmade by skilled women artisans in Mumbai using pre-loved sari textiles.
By working with existing fabrics, the brand supports ethical production while reducing textile waste and preserving traditional craftsmanship.
Sustainable Sari Necklaces with Unique Details
Every necklace reflects the sari it was made from.
Variations in colour, pattern, and texture make each piece unique — no two necklaces are ever the same.
Circular Fashion Necklaces Rooted in Craftsmanship
Each necklace begins with a textile that already exists.
Through upcycling and skilled handwork, I Was a Sari transforms discarded sari fabrics into meaningful jewellery that supports a circular approach to fashion, where design and responsibility meet.
