It's got stories, but it’s just chilling in your cupboard, right? I love bringing those pieces back to life, so you actually get to wear them out and show them off. ### How It Works You bring your saree, we sit down and talk about what you want. Maybe you imagine an upcycled saree gown for your big event, or a cool lehenga from old saree for festive functions. The process is super collaborative - I want your outfit to feel totally YOU, but still hold onto the nostalgia. ### What We Can Make - Indo-Western gowns with your saree’s zari or brocade featured in the sleeves or bodice - Lehengas, half sarees, pleated skirts, crop tops - all crafted from the original saree - Matching saree outfits for mother and child (I swear, this is always a hit for photos!) - If you’re up for something different, I can paint Tanjore-inspired art right onto your new piece. It's wearable art, not just clothing. ### The Sparkle I can add zardosi, beadwork, sequins - depends on how much jazz you want. Some sarees look best with minimal touches, some can handle extra bling. We’ll figure it out together. If you want a piece that’s both new and full of old memories, I’d love to help make that happen. ## Highlights Browse through Aruchaa Design House's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/aruchaa_design_house/saree-upcycling-redesign/featured) - [Video: There is nothing more special than seeing a mother and daughter sharing a moment in coordinated outfits crafted from a single, sentimental saree.
