A refined beige Banarasi saree, drawn over with Virsa motifs woven thread-by-thread across the field. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border framing the drape in a quiet, steady line and the anchal carrying the Virsa repeat in fuller arrangement. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
The Katan-silk-by-cotton blend keeps the hand slightly lighter than pure Katan, but the Kadhua at the loom is the same — every Virsa motif lifted on its own weft, the back of the cloth left clean, the placement counted across every join. That is the patience the textile asks for, and the reason it reads as luxury.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape lets the beige ground carry the eye to the motifs. Pair with antique-gold, polki or chand bali earrings and an oxblood, deep-emerald or ivory raw-silk blouse.

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.
