Description: This red oversized tote is a special piece made from a reclaimed sari.

Every bag in this collection is a unique work of art, lovingly handmade to ensure that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. By prioritising the use of preloved and vintage fabrics, these creations celebrate the beauty of circular fashion and give exquisite textiles a well-deserved second chance. This commitment to upcycling means that each accessory carries its own individual history, offering a soulful and sustainable alternative to mass-produced fashion.

As a result, you may see the odd flaw or mark in some of the fabrics however we believe this just adds to the character of the items. As some of the fabrics have been unpicked and reused occasionally you may see evidence of previous seams. The fabrics are carefully reclaimed to minimise wastage and the product is very much handmade. Some of these bags feature elaborate embellishment work, for the most part this is intact however occasionally you may find the odd bead / sequin missing, anything very obviously noticeable will be mentioned in the description. 

Every bag size is different as we try and utilise the fabric as best we can. Please note that as these use mixed fabrics and a lot of them don’t have care labels hence it is difficult to provide washing instructions. If in doubt we recommend dry-cleaning for silks. Cottons can be gently hand cold washed.
