About This Piece

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.

About This Style

The Tunic-Length Kaftan Tunic works in every season and works just as well at a date as at the beach. This kaftan is long enough to be worn as a beach cover-up but it can also be worn with pants or leggings in the fall and winter. Made from super-soft upcycled silk crepe saris, the fabric has a flattering drape on every figure.

This particular style well on every body type and size. You can also tie little knots in the sleeves or hemline to round out the squared look.

Fully reversible with a scoop neck on one side and a v-neckline on the other. Please note that the front and back may be completely different to add versatility to your wardrobe.

If a patch seems to be lifting at the edges, it can easily be re-attached.

• Place a piece of white cotton fabric on the ironing board (in case the glue from the patch seeps through the fabric onto your ironing board.).
• Place the silk fabric with the area to be patched in a single layer on the white cotton.
• Place the patch over the fabric flaw on the silk fabric.
• Cover the silk fabric and the patch with a presscloth - a thin layer of cotton fabric.
• Press the patch on firmly through the presscloth with the iron temperature set to high. Repeat as necessary.
• Allow the patch to cool before moving the silk fabric off the ironing board.
