OUR COLLABORATION with India-based social enterprise, I was a Sari
Saris to Suits ® stands for sustainability. Plus, empowerment of women everywhere and our planet.
With this stylish socially-conscious purchase, you enable female artisans thread livelihoods, as they create a fashion wear with upcycled seven yards of treasured sari that once draped and adorned its original owner. We at Saris to Suits ® thank you for empowering women and supporting our social enterprise collaboration that links East to West through fabrics and textiles.
THE SARIS TO SUITS ® STORY
Pratibha “Patti” Tripathi was called a trailblazer because of her awe-inspiring tenacity to achieve impressive professional success. She became the first network news anchor of Indian origin in her late 20’s when she was not well versed in English at age 12. The head of philanthropy of a large corporation referred to her as a visionary when she launched her public charity appropriately named Saris to Suits ® within the confines of a patriarchal South Asian community and a mainstream America and judicial system unaware of cultural nuances. It happened before hashtags such as #MeToo #TimesUp and the UN’s #HeForShe went viral.
But her wildly appalling personal journey fit for a movie is not widely known. After navigating the fallout from a traditional marriage, she has made an impact worldwide by using her voice to advocate for women and girls whose voices have systematically been silenced.
