A peach Banarasi saree in pure Katan silk, drawn over with Kuniya corner-motifs that anchor the anchal and carry through the body in a quieter repeat. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border running a steady line of small motifs and the Kuniya at the corner reading like a worked medallion. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kuniya is a Banarasi placement tradition — corner-led, anchored at the anchal, set against a quieter field. Done in Kadhua, every motif and every corner is woven thread-by-thread, which is what gives a Kuniya piece its discipline of weight and its slow, considered making.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape with the anchal held long lets the Kuniya corner read at the edge. Pair with antique-gold or chand bali earrings and an ivory, peach or deep-olive 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.
