ABOUT THE COLOURWAY
Our Blues colour group brings together recycled sari fabrics in a varied spectrum of blue shades, from soft sky, powder and cornflower blues to vibrant turquoise, aqua and cobalt, and deeper indigo and navy blue. Intricate prints may combine these predominant blues with contrasting or complementary colours, creating an eclectic mix of patterns and palettes. As our recycled sari fabrics are limited edition, every piece is unique and the exact shades, prints and colour combinations will vary as new fabrics are introduced.

HANDMADE IN NEPAL
Our recycled sari accessories are handmade by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal, within a collective certified by the World Fair Trade Organization. The workshop employs over 25 women, providing opportunities to earn an income through skilled work. Several of the artisans are deaf and communicate with the production manager using sign language. Using recycled sari fabric gives existing textiles a new purpose, with variations in colour and pattern making every finished piece unique.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our recycled sari fabrics are carefully selected by AURA QUE founder Laura from fabric trader Dhiraj's treasure trove of vibrant colours, intricate patterns and beautiful textures in Nepal. Often treasured and passed down through generations, saris are given a new lease of life through repurposing, celebrating Nepal's resourceful approach to reducing textile waste. Every piece is one of a kind, with its own unique combination of colours and patterns.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Selecting the sari fabric: Laura personally selects the fabrics, carefully considering how colours and patterns will work across the designs. As the fabrics have had a previous life, their colours, patterns and details vary, providing an ever-changing mix of textiles to work with.
- Pattern cutting: We work closely with artisans to make the most of each fabric’s colours and patterns while minimising waste. Careful placement of border patterns helps maintain a consistent appearance, even though every piece is unique.
- Stitching the fabric: The cut fabric is carefully stitched using foot-powered sewing machines. Because the fine, silky sari fabrics require particularly delicate handling, this work is entrusted to artisans with specialist training and experience.
- Curating for consistency: Back at the AURA QUE studio, our team sets aside pieces with significant pattern variations for in-person sales. We understand that buying one-of-a-kind products online can be tricky, so we ensure our online offering closely reflects our product photography, giving customers a reliable idea of what to expect.
