Custom Saree Transformations & Upcycling
Don't let your favourite sarees sit in the closet. We transform heirloom silks and vintage fabrics into modern lehengas, gowns, and Indo-western sets right at your doorstep.
This beautiful three-piece lehenga set was created entirely from a single client's saree. I designed a coordinated crop top, a flowing skirt, and a sheer jacket with intricate floral embroidery along the borders, giving the original fabric a completely new and festive life.
Here is a classic example of a saree to gown upcycle. I used the rich brocade from the saree's pallu to create a structured bodice with a sweetheart neckline and crafted the rest of the vibrant red fabric into a full-length, elegant gown.
I transformed a delicate white saree into this stunning lehenga choli. The original pearl and mirror-work border was carefully repurposed to adorn the blouse, skirt hem, and dupatta, creating a cohesive and graceful outfit perfect for any special occasion.
A little glimpse into my design process. Here I am briefing one of my master karigars on a new custom design. This collaborative discussion is a crucial step to ensure your vision is perfectly translated into the final garment.
Take a quick tour of my workshop where the magic happens. From precise fabric cutting and marking to expert stitching and final ironing, my team of skilled artisans ensures every detail of your upcycled garment is handled with professional care.
This regal, high-neck dress is a testament to the potential hidden in old fabrics. I upcycled a client's vintage purple brocade material, combining two distinct patterns to create a unique, structured dress with contrasting sleeves.
About Featured
We don't just stitch, we deconstruct and rebuild. Before we touch your fabric, we steam-press and meticulously plan every cut to ensure the pallu borders land perfectly on your new yoke or hem. It is all about maintaining the integrity of the original material while giving it a contemporary silhouette that actually fits you.
Giving Your Memories New Life
We believe that old clothes shouldn't just collect dust. Whether it is your mother's wedding saree or a silk fabric you simply haven't worn in years, we specialize in upcycling these pieces into something you will actually reach for.
How We Transform Your Fabric
- Deconstruction & Prep: We carefully open old seams, remove fall or pico, and steam-iron the fabric to ensure a clean slate.
- Strategic Cutting: Our master karigars (artisans) plan the layout to utilize your saree’s existing borders and pallu for the new design’s neckline, sleeves, or hem.
- Modern Construction: We incorporate modern elements like padded cups, concealed zippers, and canvas-fused collars to ensure your upcycled garment has structure and a premium finish.
What We Can Create
- Saree to Gown: We convert your saree into a floor-length Anarkali or gown (up to 56 inches), complete with high-quality lining.
- Lehenga Sets: We can turn a saree into a full lehenga skirt and designer blouse, including hard net cancan for that perfect flare and handmade tassels (latkans).
- Indo-Western Sets: For a modern look, we can create a three-piece ensemble, including a crop top, flowy skirt, and a statement shrug using the original borders.
