Our local team of women transform upcycled materials into conversation pieces fit for a meeting in Manhattan, a bash in Barcelona or a Balinese retreat. In a world driven by profits, I was a Sari is made with good karma moving women forward and protecting our environment. A zero-dividend company, we invest all our profits back into transforming the lives of our artisans. We want more businesses to buzz with kindness. Are you in? Through Gucci Equilibrium, a platform to promote the brands sustainable and ethical goals, Gucci has supported I was a Sari in a number of ways, including extending its special embroidery training program to our female artisans. Working with Guccis partner export houses, our artisans have been trained in traditional techniques, heralding a new premium line of I Was a Sari products. Our latest collection was designed in Guccis studio in Rome, with their designers, as part of Gucci Changemakers volunteering program.
