From cultures around the globe comes Saaki, a label designing and collecting the finest traditionally-inspired pieces, perfect for the modern and perhaps a little unconventional fashionista.
Sanskrit for 'a loved one', the word Saaki perfectly reflects the one-of-a-kind nature of the pieces curated by founder, Lakshmi Sukumaran. Introducing her latest innovation as a global fashion hub, the Sydney-sider and fashion and retail entrepreneur has promised an exciting alternative to the big retailing companies and chains that line our malls and have taken over our online fashion bookmarks.

With this vision, Saaki offers shoppers a wide range of hand-picked products, selected for their marketplace uniqueness and exquisite craftsmanship. What's more, as each of the pieces are handcrafted, Saaki's designers can cater for individual sizes and can offer colour changes as desired by their shoppers.
