      Sustainable Tops and Shirts Made from Upcycled Saris

      I Was a Sari creates one-of-a-kind tops and shirts made from upcycled saris, designed for different moods, seasons, and fits. Each piece is handcrafted by women artisans in Mumbai, transforming pre-loved textiles into everyday wardrobe essentials.

      From relaxed resort shirts to statement tops, these garments bring colour, texture, and individuality to conscious dressing — balancing comfort, versatility, and circular design.

      Ethical Women's Tops and Shirts Handcrafted in India

      All I Was a Sari tops and shirts are handmade by skilled women artisans in Mumbai using pre-loved sari fabrics.
      By working exclusively with existing textiles, the brand supports ethical production while reducing waste and preserving traditional craftsmanship.

      Upcycled Sari Tops and Shirts Designed for Everyday Wear

      Whether worn for work, weekends, travel, or relaxed occasions, these shirts are designed to adapt easily to everyday life. Soft fabrics, breathable fits, and thoughtful cuts make each piece comfortable and effortless to style.

      One-of-a-Kind Statement Tops with Unique Prints

      Each top is defined by the sari it comes from. Natural variations in colour, pattern, and texture ensure that no two pieces are ever the same — making every garment personal and expressive.

      Versatile Silhouettes for Work, Travel, and Leisure

      From belted everyday shirts and oversized silhouettes to strap tops, bow-tie blouses, and relaxed resort styles, the collection offers versatile shapes designed to move seamlessly between occasions.

      Circular Fashion Tops Rooted in Craftsmanship

      Every top begins with a textile that already exists.
      Through upcycling, I Was a Sari reimagines sari fabrics into modern shirts and tops, supporting a circular approach to fashion without compromising quality or design.
