Description
These sustainable, pure silk boxy tops are versatile and come in countless colors and prints.
They look great when paired with a longer tank top and high-waisted pants, or beneath a coordinating kimono-sleeved duster, short kimono-sleeved jacket, or silk poncho. These pieces are one size, best fitting sizes 2-12.
This style suits everyone as there is lots of room around the tummy, but please note that the style is cropped and lands above the hips. The luxurious drape of the vintage sari fabric lets this piece drape gracefully on all body types from a size 2 to a size 12.
sariKNOTsari pieces are:
- Designed for longevity – No fast fashion, no planned obsolescence
- Breathable and comfortable – Ideal for travel and year-round wear
- Mindfully made – Upcycled, artisan-crafted, and ethically sourced
In Eastern philosophy, an Avatar is an incarnation that teaches how to evolve virtues of the past into the present. The Pure Upcycled Silk Avatar Collection is made from vintage pure silk saris, chosen and worn by women in the past to celebrate their lives. If you look very closely, you will see that the silks in this collection show some of the character of their previous incarnations through the appliqués that have been lovingly applied to bring new life to the fabric. This piece is a reminder that we are part of a collective journey to which we all add a little something.
One size fits from size 2 to size 3x. Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
Check back regularly for new additions to the collection.
