Despite being an open-minded bloke, I don't quite have the metrosexual Beckham swagger required to wear a sari, let alone a sky-blue jacket made from recycled saris. I do have several ladyfriends, however, who have already swooned over this 1950's-style quilted number made by Sari from vintage saris. It's not cheap at £178 (£185 inc delivery) but it is unique, gorgeous, encourages recycling and is made by a company that gives ten per cent of its profits to a rotating group of childrens' charities. Sari also does nifty handbags and lampshades made from recycled saris and reclaimed wood. Peruse for yourself at Sari Couture. [found via Anti-Apathy]
