How I am sustainable

I'm not made from virgin fabrics and dyes, so my carbon footprint, pollution and water usage is way lower than other products. Instead, I'm made with circular production methods, from waste fabric which already existed. I turned into an I was a Sari instead of becoming landfill. Now I'm looking forward to my second life, maybe with you.

How to care for me

I was collected from Mumbai markets rather than being newly made, so my exact fabric composition is unknown. Care for me sustainably with hand wash, line drying and cool iron. I can also be machine washed and dry cleaned if I don't come with embroidery or embellishments that might be affected.
