SARI SILK NECKLACE
INDIA
Our range of Sari Necklaces are made from the Sari fabric left after the production of Kantha Sari Scarves.
Theses statement necklaces have the most striking colours and prints. These remnants are first matched, piece-by-piece, with colourful cotton thread and then sewn into narrow, double-layered tubes. The artisans fill these tubes with wooden prayer beads, hand-stitching each bead into place with the thread. One piece of Sari scrap can be made into several necklaces, so positioning of print may differ very slightly from piece to piece. Any variations or irregularities are part of the design and inherent to the production process. Open ties in the back allow you to wear the necklace at any length.
Each necklace comes with a vintage silk storage bag
The use of scrap fabric reduces waste. All materials are natural and thus bio-degradable. The exquisite handiwork is done by marginalised women and men who are provided with regular work, a living wage, safe and flexible working conditions and training.
