A peach Banarasi saree in mulberry silk, carrying resist-dyed ikat patterning across the body, with the Handwoven Ikat discipline visible in every passage of the drape. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
An Ikat saree carries its pattern in the threads before the loom is even threaded — each warp and weft is resist-dyed in sequence so the motif emerges only when the two cross. The hand and the eye have to keep that alignment for the length of the drape; the slight softness at every edge is the proof that the cloth is hand-woven.
Styling Note
Drape in a Nivi or Bengali drape so the border and the anchal carry the eye. Pair with antique-gold or temple jewellery and an ivory or warm-rust handloom cotton 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.
