These beautiful ties are created from recycled sarees produced in collaboration with Jhoole, a non-profit social enterprise based in India. Each pair is one-of-a-kind, handmade by women who earn fair-trade wages so their children can attend school, with the goal of ending the cycle of poverty in their family and community.
One hundred percent of your purchase price for these saree ties (yes, all $25!) benefits the women of Jhoole. Follow this link to learn more about Jhoole and how you're helping to make a difference.
These saree ties are vegan, typically polyester crêpe, taffeta, organdy or chiffon. While they are luxuriously soft on your feet, they are actually even more durable than our super durable grosgrain ribbons, and should last for years of wear in your shoes. We recommend machine washing on the delicate cycle or hand washing, followed by air drying.
Please note that these ties are made from sarees that have been previously worn and are now repurposed into ties for Mohop shoes. Therefore, you may see some small pulls in the fabric and other minute inconsistencies – however, once the ties are laced in your shoes, any “flaws” are not noticeable at all. The large photo swatch represents the actual saree ties you will receive with this order; the model photos show just a few of the nearly limitless ways to style them with Mohop shoes. The saree ties also look great as hair ties, belts, or scarves!
