A handwoven Banarasi saree in a multi-colour brown jamawar palette, carrying densely packed Tanchoi motifs across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the Jamawar laid out across the full field of the drape. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Tanchoi is a satin-weave Banarasi technique where the pattern is carried entirely by warp and weft — there are no extra floats at the back, which is why a true Tanchoi feels almost as clean on the reverse as on the surface. Combined with the Jamawar shading, this is a piece that asks the loom for both density and discipline.
Styling Note
Drapes well in a Nivi or Gujarati style. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and a deep bronze or maroon raw-silk blouse to bring out the Jamawar tones.

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.

Every Stuti Weaves saree is woven to a standard width of 44–46 inches.
