abacaxi's Up-Sari Set is a new line of matching garments that help to repurpose vintage saris from India. In each set, there's a long-sleeve top, a pair of wide-legged pants and differently sized fabric pouches that ensure no fabric goes to waste. Due to the nature of working with upcycled materials, each and every set is unique thanks to the hand-picked 100% silk and cotton pieces. As the brand suggests, the pieces from the set can be styled together to create a more formal outfit, or mixed and matched with other modern garments for a fresh look.
The Up-Sari Sets are designs that are made to order as part of the brand's Plants as People collection.
