Sustainable Earrings Made from Upcycled Saris

I Was a Sari creates expressive, lightweight earrings made from upcycled sari fabrics — pleated, beaded, floral, and embroidered styles crafted by women artisans in Mumbai. Each pair is one of a kind, defined by the colour and texture of the sari it comes from.

Ethical Earrings Handcrafted by Women Artisans in India

All I Was a Sari earrings 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 Earrings with Unique Shapes and Textures

Pleats, florals, ruffles, beads, and embroidered motifs vary from piece to piece.
These natural variations ensure that no two earrings are ever the same — each pair reflects the sari it was made from.

Circular Fashion Earrings Rooted in Craftsmanship

Each pair of earrings begins with a textile that already exists.
Through upcycling and skilled handwork, I Was a Sari transforms discarded sari fabrics into expressive jewellery that supports a circular approach to fashion, where creativity and responsibility coexist.

Our top 5 favourites:

  • Pleated earrings: Our signature fan-shaped design made from hand-pleated sari fabric, airy yet bold, perfect for everyday or festive wear.
  • Floret dangler earrings: Sculptural and feminine, featuring hand-twisted floral clusters that move gracefully with you.
  • Ruffle earrings: A textural delight, each pair combines layered fabric rosettes and subtle metallic accents for effortless charm.
  • Beaded drop earrings: Lightweight drops of colour and sheen, blending fabric and glass beads for a delicate finish.
  • Heart drop earrings: Whimsical yet refined, these embroidered heart motifs celebrate love and craftsmanship in true I Was a Sari spirit.

Each design carries its own rhythm — a blend of artistry, sustainability, and individuality, created to let your personality shine through.
