Recycled Sari Silk Ribbon in Lilac Pink

This beautiful silk ribbon is made from the offcuts of Indian Sari manufacturing. It has been hand dyed using plant based natural dyes, giving a unique varied colouration to the fabric. The blooms were gathered from the ground around a tree growing in my Grandmothers garden, here in Cornwall.

Perfect for present wrapping, floristry, crafts or decorations of any kind or wearing in your hair as an accessory. Sold in bundles of 3mts, please contact me directly if you'd like to order shorter or longer single lengths as some colours can be made to order at any time of year.

Please note, due to the unique nature of this recycled material the width of the ribbon is not consistent, varying from 3-4cm. There are also stitched joins within the length which cannot be avoided.
