Upcycled Silk Kanjeevaram Sari: Purple and Cream

Touch of Joy

Upcycled Silk Kanjeevaram Sari: Purple and Cream

Rs. 11,550.00

This upcycled sari, designed by Joy Bimal Roy, was donated to the Sari Bank. "This beige Kanjeevaram sari with a purple border belonged to my aunt Ava Roy. I added a purple Banarasi weave to the border and pallav to give it a more decorative look," says Roy.

“My tryst with upcycling saris began when my sister, Yashodhara, left behind a legacy of coveted saris. She had impeccable taste,” says Roy. After gifting some saris, Roy began to salvage and restore others. "The challenge of integrating disparate elements into a seamless whole excites me.”

A Sari Bank now welcomes contributions. So each sari gives at least three times: once when its donated, then when its upcycled, and finally, when proceeds of sales are donated to benefit a local hospice, Shanti Avedna Sadan, Mumbai.
