A handwoven Banarasi saree in a multicolour palette, woven on a Cotton-by-Organza ground with thread-by-thread Kadhua motifs that shift colour across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate Banarasi border frames the drape, and the anchal closes with an anchor motif. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
The colour shift in Kadhua across a single piece is what makes a Banarasi feel painterly — each motif is built thread by thread, each in its own colour family, with the precision the tradition demands. Cotton-by-Organza underneath gives the textile its airy, semi-sheer hand. The luxury is in the choreography: many colours, one continuous loom session, never an applique.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully Nivi-style with the pallu pleated narrow so the colour-shift work reads clean. Pair with antique-gold or polki and a contrast jewel-toned raw-silk blouse — emerald, plum or deep pink — to mirror one note from the body.

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.
