Pick n Pay Clothing and Sari For Change Collaboration

Posted on by

My sister-in-law, Rayana Edwards, is the Founder and CEO of Sari For Change, a foundation that is dedicated to empowering unemployed women and promoting sustainability by upcycling gently worn saris into stunning, new and unique dresses. I own 4 unique recycled saris that have been made into wrap dresses by Sari for Change and I always get compliments whenever I wear them.

Hence, I was so excited to hear that Pick n Pay Clothing has partnered with the Sari for Change Foundation and together they have unveiled a limited and exclusive range of versatile wrap dresses which can be worn in three unique ways. The dresses are available in a kaleidoscope of beautiful colours, ensuring there’s something to complement every style preference.

Each dress is one-of-a-kind and embodies a story of renewal and uniqueness, as it is crafted from a single donated sari carrying its individual heritage. With only 200 dresses available, these exclusive pieces went on sale this week, at four Pick n Pay Clothing stores: Cavendish, Canal Walk, Sandton City and Gateway. Through the partnership, customers can buy one of these exclusive dresses for R369,99, which usually retails for over R1,000.
