A sweet one-of-a-kind tree for your tree, this ornament is made from recycled saris. Handcrafted by artisans in Bangladesh, the resourceful reuse of recycled sari-wrapped beads means less fabric is sent to landfill. Finding new life for pre-loved fabric is part of these artisans' ethical ethos and care for our environment.
