Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our upcycled fashion, shipping, and sustainable impact.
What makes 'I was a Sari' products unique?
Each piece is handcrafted using upcycled vintage saris, meaning no two items are exactly alike. Our products blend contemporary design with traditional Indian heritage, providing a second life to beautiful textiles.
How do I care for my upcycled garments?
Since our products are made from vintage silk and blended fabrics, we recommend professional dry cleaning or a very gentle hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying to preserve the vibrant colors.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship our sustainable fashion worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times vary depending on your location and will be calculated at checkout.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 14 days of delivery, provided the items are in their original condition with tags attached. Please note that due to the unique nature of upcycled materials, minor irregularities in the fabric are characteristics of the product's history and not defects.
How are the artisans supported?
We are a social enterprise dedicated to women's empowerment. Our artisans receive fair wages, health insurance, and vocational training, ensuring that every purchase directly contributes to improving their livelihoods.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, and various local digital payment methods depending on your shipping region.
