A handwoven Banarasi Katan silk saree in pale pink, drawn over with mesmerising floral and paisley motifs in subtle hints of colour — a Kimkhab composition in the gentler register. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with an intricate border closing the body and an elaborate aanchal that completes the pallu. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kimkhab is the high register of Banarasi metallic weave — historically a brocade reserved for the most ornate compositions. Layered with Kadhua and Jamdani techniques here, every motif is built into the cloth thread by thread (Kadhua) with selective coloured-thread inlays (Jamdani), giving the piece a textured surface that reads differently at every angle. The luxury is the cumulative skill across two traditions.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully Nivi-style with the pallu pleated narrow to show the floral inlay. Pair with classic gold, polki, or a single statement choker; a deep blush or ivory blouse keeps the palette close.

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom saree is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the saree 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 saree, as fragrance and alcohol can affect the fabric 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 saree stay beautiful for years.
