Saree Hire Sydney
Looking for a saree to rent in Sydney? Chari Clothing carries sarees for hire — from pre-draped styles that slip on in minutes to traditional six-yard saris for experienced wearers. Whether you're heading to a wedding, Diwali celebration, or a cultural event, we'll help you find something that fits your occasion and your confidence level.
Why Rent Instead of Buy?
A quality saree can cost anywhere from $200 to well over $1,000. If you only wear one a few times a year, that's a lot of money sitting in your wardrobe. Renting makes sense. You get access to designer pieces at a fraction of the cost, and you don't have to worry about storage or dry cleaning afterwards.
Our sari rental service starts at just $50 for a 3-day hire. We include professional dry cleaning in the rental price, so you return it worn and we take care of the rest. There's a $100 refundable bond that comes back to you once the saree is returned in good condition.
Pre-Draped Sarees: No Pleating Required
If you've never worn a saree before — or if you've tried and found the draping process frustrating — our pre-draped sarees are made for you. These are real sarees that have been stitched and structured so they look exactly like a traditionally draped sari, but you put them on the way you would a skirt and top. No pins, no pleating, no YouTube tutorials at 7am on the morning of the event.
Pre-draped saree hire is one of our most popular options, especially for non-South Asian guests attending Indian weddings, and for second-generation Australians who want to wear a saree without the stress of draping one from scratch.
Traditional Sarees
If you know your way around a pallu, we also carry traditional unstitched sarees in a range of fabrics and styles. Silk, georgette, chiffon — whatever suits the occasion. These are the real deal, and they drape beautifully for anyone who is comfortable with the process.
Same-Day Pickup in Wolli Creek
We're based in Wolli Creek, in Sydney's south. If you're local, you can pick up your hired saree the same day — just get in touch and we'll have it ready for you. This is especially handy for last-minute events or if you want to try before you commit.
You can also book a fitting to see the sarees in person, feel the fabric, and get our help choosing the right piece for your event.
Delivery Across Sydney
If Wolli Creek isn't convenient, we ship across Greater Sydney. Whether you're in Parramatta, the Inner West, the Northern Beaches, or anywhere in between, your saree will arrive at your door ready to wear.
Sydney's South Asian Communities
We're proud to serve the South Asian communities right across Sydney. If you're based in Harris Park or Parramatta — the heart of Sydney's Little India — we're a short trip away. Customers from Lakemba, Epping, Blacktown, and Hurstville regularly hire sarees from us for family gatherings, religious events, and weddings.
Our location in Wolli Creek puts us close to the airport and well-connected by train, so getting to us from most parts of Sydney is straightforward.
Sydney Events
Sydney has a packed calendar of South Asian cultural events, and a saree is often the outfit of choice. If you're attending Parramasala in Parramatta, the Deepavali Fair in Harris Park, or any of the Navratri garba nights across Western Sydney, renting a sari means you show up looking the part without the commitment of a purchase.
We see a big spike in saree hire around Diwali season and during the October-to-March wedding window. If you have an event coming up, it's worth booking early to get the best selection.
Complete the Look
A saree is only part of the outfit. We also have South Asian jewellery available to hire — statement necklaces, earrings, bangles, and maang tikkas that pair with your sari. Renting jewellery alongside your saree means you get a fully styled look without buying pieces you may only wear once.

A pre-draped saree is a real saree that has been stitched into a structured garment.
