Upcycled Sari Bows
Add a playful pop of colour to your tree with these joyful bow decorations, handmade from upcycled saris. Each one is bursting with character, stitched from colourful fabric offcuts that would otherwise go to waste.
Lightweight and easy to hang, they’re a sustainable alternative to plastic baubles, and can be reused year after year. No two bows are ever the same, so your tree will feel truly special!
Note: as these are upcycled, each bow will be a different colour, so if you have a colour preference, please advise in order notes!
Lovingly made by our partner charity in India, these bows don’t just decorate your home but also support women with training, employment and purpose.

Pri Pri turns preloved saris into children’s clothing, tote bags and home accessories, stitching together traditional Indian fabrics with western design.
On a mission to reduce the staggering amount of fabric waste that ends up in landfill, no scrap goes to waste. Pri Pri gets creative with every last piece of sari material, resulting in beautifully unique products, from shimmering kids party dresses to spectacularly colourful rag wreaths.
Upcycled with love and style, the saris are sourced via the founder’s personal contacts or in the markets of Mumbai, where reams of used but still perfectly wearable fabric ends up.
Mumbai is also where the makers behind Pri Pri are based. They’re part of a programme run by Animedh Charitable Trust. This organisation helps underprivileged women by arming them with valuable skills – like sewing. The women train and become qualified while working on Pri Pri designs, sewing their way to sustainable, long-term jobs and a brighter future.
So these garments and accessories spark ripples of positive change in more ways than one. They’re symbols of slow fashion and reducing our environmental impact. And they create social and economic change for marginalised communities.
If you’re not a fan of wasteful packaging (who is?!), you’ll be pleased to see your Pri Pri pieces arrive in recyclable materials too.
All that impact aside, Pri Pri’s collection is joyful to look at. Whichever pieces you buy, prepare to be bombarded with compliments over the designs and fabrics.
