Besides showcasing traditional and new saris, the exhibition displays saris collected by children at Barham Primary School, Wembley, chosen because of their particular significance to their families. An Education Pack has been developed around this work.

Alongside the new and old saris hang intricate drawings by artist and researcher Helen Scalway of fabric patterns and life inside a sari shop in Tooting, south London.
