Peach Meenadar Tanchoi Katan Silk Banarsi Handloom Fabric Thaan

A handwoven Banarasi Katan silk fabric thaan in peach pink, drawn over with meenakari motifs in coloured silk and zari across the full field. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — Tanchoi gives the cloth its dense satin ground, and the Meenadar tradition enamels the motifs in fine coloured silk for jewel-like depth. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.

Tanchoi paired with Meenadar is among the most technically refined Banarasi compositions — every motif is carried by warp and weft alone, with coloured silk threads working alongside the zari to give each shape three colours of read. Sold by the metre, this fabric carries the full discipline of the loom into whatever piece you commission from it.

Styling Note

Cut beautifully into a saree blouse, a sherwani panel, a lehenga skirt or a structured jacket. The peach pink reads warm with cream or ivory linings; pair with antique-gold buttons or piping to anchor the meenadar work.

Caring for Your Handloom

A handloom textile is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.

After handling, allow the fabric to settle gently. Dry clean only, so the weave, colour, and zari remain protected. When storing, wrap it in a soft muslin cloth and keep it in a dry place. Zari is delicate and responds to changes in weather; the muslin helps the textile breathe while keeping the weave stable.

Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the fabric, as fragrance and alcohol can affect the silk and zari. Every few months, open it out and let it air naturally for a while — a small ritual that allows the weave to breathe and helps the fabric stay beautiful for years.
