About Guru

Guru is a 100% sustainable clothing brand creating unique, vibrant quality fashion with a bohemian flare. Guru is Canadian designed and committed to fair trade principles and ethically made sustainable production using up-cycled saris. Kathryn Boese, owner and designer of Guru, collaborates with local artisans in Rajasthan from design to production. Up-cycling vintage Indian saris and end-of-roll fabrics. She founded Guru 2 decades ago with the desire to create sustainable apparel for women and support independent boutiques. Up-cycled saris have an amazing history. Our team in India collects each of our high quality Rasgulla saris by bartering with woman in Indian villages and exchanging every day essentials for their previously loved saris. Guru then re-fashions them for you! Individual fashion designs are created for women like you, who respect unique style and the sustainability movement. Because our saris have history, they may also have minor imperfections that are camouflaged in the beauty of our exquisite saris. These type of petite flaws you embrace, much like our own personal flaws. Because nothing and no one is perfect. Our Eco Couture collection is made of flawless fabrics that we procure from ‘ends of rolls’ straight from the manufacturer. In this way, sparing the remaining materials from being sent to landfills. This sustainable practice allows us to refresh our prints often and provide our fashion-conscious customers unique styles. Read their story
