Vintage Silk Sari Lampshades

Our collection of Sari Lampshades is hand-crafted from vintage silk saris sourced from India.

We have a wonderful collection of saris ranging from the traditional ikat woven saris to the more modern, mid-century saris with printed geometric patterns - from subtle, neutral colours to stunning reds, golds, and greens designed to make a statement.

Each of our silk sari lampshades carries a story, one that begins long before it finds its way into your home. Once part of a sari worn and cherished, the silk is repurposed and transformed by skilled artisans into something entirely new - a lampshade full of character, texture, and life. The gentle shimmer of silk and the fine weave of the fabric give these shades a timeless quality, catching the light beautifully throughout the day and creating a soft, warm glow when lit.

Our vintage silk sari lampshades come in a range of sizes from 10 cm to 50 cm, making them suitable for both small accent lamps and striking statement pieces. They are available in an array of colours including pink, yellow, blue, red, green and orange, among others - each one unique, reflecting the rich variety of India’s textile heritage. No two are ever quite the same.

The gathered and pleated style of the lampshades has a relaxed, romantic look, with soft folds of fabric that bring out the richness of the silk. They are made with care and attention to detail, ensuring the finish feels just as special as the fabric itself.

These are pieces to treasure - handmade works of art that add warmth, individuality, and a touch of luxury to your space. Each shade has been selected for its beauty, pattern and texture, whether it’s a delicately woven ikat or a bold, geometric print.

The colours and patterns in our sari lampshades reflect the vibrancy of Indian life, joyful and full of energy, yet they sit beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors. A vintage sari shade can lift a simple corner of a room, becoming a talking point and adding a sense of history and craftsmanship to your home.

Our artisans take great care to make sure that every silk sari is reused thoughtfully and respectfully, allowing the fabric’s second life to shine. By choosing one of our silk sari lampshades, you’re not just buying a lampshade, you’re helping preserve textile traditions and support the craftspeople who keep these skills alive.

Each shade is a one-of-a-kind creation, a perfect blend of artistry, sustainability and timeless design, made to be enjoyed for years to come.
