SARI- Silk Kimono-Sleeved Long Duster with Belt #1
Available in an ever-changing array of colours and patterns, our best-selling design, the Long Kimono-Sleeved Duster, is made from up-cycled silk saris and each comes with a matching belt that can also be worn as a scarf.
Wear it over jeans, a dress or a bathing suit. Wear it tied or open and ethereal. Wear it frontwards or backwards, as a dress or as a jacket--it's a super-versatile piece of slow fashion.
*Please note these are recycled sari's so there maybe imperfections in the natural silk fabric. Lousje & Tessa hand pick this line and are confident in the quality of the garment.
