Rosalee Avatar Sheer Pure Silk Versatile Vest

In Eastern philosophy, an Avatar is an incarnation that teaches how to evolve virtues of the past into the present. The Pure Upcycled Silk Avatar Collection is made from vintage pure silk saris, chosen and worn by women in the past to celebrate their lives.

If you look very closely, you will see that the silks in this collection show some of the character of their previous incarnations through the appliqués that have been lovingly applied to bring new life to the  fabric. This piece is a reminder that we are part of a collective journey to which we all add a little something.

Available in a number of different patterns and fabrics, our vests are one of our most versatile slow fashion pieces. Not only do these vests function as lofty scarves when worn around the neck, but they can be wrapped to function as a jacket or a top. 

This style works well on all body types.

Check the Video tab below to see different ways to wear your versatile vest.
