Recycled Sari Range

Recycled Sari + Grass or Sweet Wrappers!

Add a burst of colour and purpose to your outdoor space with these beautifully handmade birdhouses, crafted from recycled and natural materials. Each piece is individually made, so no two are ever the same, celebrating reclaimed materials and traditional artisan skills.

Choose from three charming designs:

Teardrop, grass and recycled sari: Woven from recycled sari and metal, with a circular entrance and a jute hanging cord.

Acorn, grass and recycled sari: A playful acorn-inspired design made from sustainable grass and recycled sari fabric, with a natural hanging cord and a simple round entry.

Round - made from sweet wrappers! An eco-friendly birdhouse woven from recycled sweet wrappers, with a circular opening and a recycled sweet wrapper hanging cord, ready to mount. An appealing piece of garden furniture to support the natural environment.

Perfect for gardens, balconies or outdoor nooks, these birdhouses bring life and character to your space. Colours and patterns vary because of the reclaimed materials, and we are unable to offer colour selection.

Recycled and individual
The fabric is genuine sari material sourced from off-cuts, remnants and surplus stock from the textile and clothing industries. These arrive at our supplier in assorted mixed batches and include the lightweight, airy fabrics traditionally used for making saris. Every purchase helps prevent careless disposal of resources already in circulation and promotes recycling and upcycling. Fabric designs are assorted and will vary, so each wreath is truly individual and specific colours or patterns can't be requested.

Fair trade
