Short description

Brighten up any room with our colourful upcycled sari flags. Traditional decorative flags can be used to welcome guests into the home. They look stunning when hung on doors, windows and walls and they make great gifts. Each set of sari flag bunting was ethically handmade from recycled saris, designed and sewn by our tailoring team in India, paying attention to colour and pattern choices for each individual product.

Every set of sari flags is unique, with each flag carefully chosen to compliment the other fabrics used. The entire bunting is made of sari fabric off-cuts, enabling us to create beautiful decor from scraps that would otherwise be thrown away. The colours and pattern of each flag and the garland will vary, and will be uniquely yours.

Because each sari is unique, each set of flags has its own story and is truly one-of-a-kind. Most saris are comprised of multiple colours and patterns intended to compliment each other when draped, which is why no two items made from the same sari are the same. Colours and patterns may vary from the photographs, depending on which part of the saris were used. Some finished items have minor imperfections, which makes them even more charming and distinctive.

Dimensions:
Approximately 210cm (approximately 6 feet 10 inches, made of 11 flags)

Care: Gently hand wash in cold water. Hang or lay flat to air dry.

Shipping: free standard shipping (without tracking) is included. We use eco-friendly packaging for all orders.

By purchasing this item, you are helping to empower and provide ongoing employment income for the women who make these handmade products. The demand for Shakti.ism's products provides these women with dignified employment, a living wage, hope and opportunities for their children. Together we can provide alternative options for disadvantaged women with the aim to lift them out of poverty and help them to become self-sustaining and independent.

Thanks for your support!

Shakti.ism is a British brand that gives Indian Sarees a second life by reusing them into beautiful new items in social workshops in India and Bangladesh.

Fair trade: Shakti.ism is a social enterprise operating in India and Bangladesh. Employees are paid a fair wage as well as additional health and wellness benefits. Shakti.ism regularly visits the locations and consults with their employees.

Environmentally friendly: The items are made from old Indian Sarees that are given a second life by Shakti.ism. For example, many sarees are donated. Local donations are generally from poorer people who donate sarees in exchange for other necessities of life. Or they sell it to Shakti.ism at a low price so that they can use this money to buy basic necessities. Shakti.ism can then save the second-hand fabric from being thrown away and reuse it. Saris can also be donated in Europe so that they can be reused.

Good cause: Shakti.ism works with women who are at risk of being affected by gender-based violence. At Shaktiism these women are given the opportunity to earn their own money fairly in a pleasant environment.
