Punaha

They say the most sustainable garment is the one already in your wardrobe, and that has led us to our very first effort in creating a collection of handmade Upcycled Sarees. Elaborate and extravagant weddings and festivities have always been a part of our culture. And a big part of this euphoria is the illustrious, colourful, celebrated attire! Sarees are the epitome of positive emotions that have lived with us in the back of our minds - and eventually in the back of our cupboards, and here was a wonderful opportunity to share those memories with others.

 

This campaign is about reuse/repurpose/refashioning and we are very grateful to a lot of our friends and well-wishers who donated their lovely sarees to work with. 

 

Proceeds from this campaign will be utilised for our research activities at the Foundation that mainly involve lifecycle analysis of discarded items.

 

Please contact us on +91 9922950761/ +91 9689098209  or mail us on sonali@studioalternatives.com for buying the sarees.
