Donate and get your free upcycled Sari Bag

Scroll on to see how you can help communities who are building a better world.

This is the story behind your soon-to-be new Sari bag, from I Was A Sari (IWAS).

The artisans who have made your Sari bag have put a lot of work and skill into it. Your bag is made from recycled Sari material, saving fabric from landfill and reducing the need for raw materials. Sustainability matters. Because without it, climate change will only get worse – especially for communities feeling the force of more extreme weather events, more often. Your gift means we can be prepared to take action, fast.

Donate today to receive your fabulous Sari bag though your door.

Our Sourced By Oxfam team works hard to collaborate with businesses across the world that put people before profit and are planet conscious. The relationship with the artisans and the entire training and production process is managed through Oxfam’s local partners: Community Outreach Programme and Animedh Charitable Trust. All colleagues come from different backgrounds and families. They come to the vocational training centres for a variety of reasons, and end up united by a passion for their work, realizing that their involvement matters and that the initiative’s success is contingent on their dedication and creativity.

Your donation could support communities fighting back against climate breakdown, poverty and injustice – making a real impact.

*Please note: the colours will vary and each bag is unique. This offer is time limited, and stock is reserved for new donations from 7th MARCH 2025, and only one per person. If we find multiple donations have been made to the same person or household, we'll only send one out through the post to allow as many people as possible to take part.

All orders will be sent via 2nd Class, Royal Mail. This might take a bit longer than next day delivery we're all used to, but we want to make sure as much of your donation goes towards supporting partners, rather than the post and packaging of your beautiful bespoke sari bag. We hope you understand.
