The word sari means “a strip of cloth,” and its history can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, which existed from around 2800 to 1800 BC. Early saris were commonly made from cotton, but by about 2000 BC, silk began to be woven into these garments, giving rise to the classic sari style known today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecorative details such as intricate embroidery and vibrant dyes were often used to reflect a woman’s social standing—the more elaborate the sari, the higher her status was likely to be. Over time, saris naturally wear out, but rather than discard such beautiful fabric, women often saved and repurposed the material to create other useful items. This practice of recycling sari fabric became increasingly popular as the 21st century approached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom this tradition came Sari Silk Ribbon. Made from 100% Sari Silk, it has been used to create rugs like this one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere can I use this Sari Silk rug\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sari Silk rug is a classy choice and will add artisanal character to contemporary, bohemian, or classic interiors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 231x156cm, it is super-soft and luxurious to walk upon.
