In Eastern philosophy, an Avatar is an incarnation that teaches how to evolve virtues of the past into the present. The Pure Upcycled Silk Avatar Collection is made from vintage pure silk saris, chosen and worn by women in the past to celebrate their lives.
If you look very closely, you will see that the silks in this collection show some of the character of their previous incarnations through the appliqués that have been lovingly applied to bring new life to the fabric. This piece is a reminder that we are part of a collective journey to which we all add a little something.
Our vests come in a variety of patterns and textiles, making them a must-have for slow fashion fans. Not only can they be worn as a vest, but also as a scarf, jacket or top. This style is great for all body types. To discover the many ways you can wear your vest, check the Video tab below. One size that fits all, but the Product Measurements tab provides measurements that can help you be sure it's the perfect fit.
