A handwoven Banarasi kora silk saree in soft pista green with a blue contrast, with a delicate Kadhua border woven along the edge. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border carries the Kadhua work, finishing in a subtle zari aanchal with a contrast selvedge that lifts the body. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
This piece reads quieter than a densely jaal-ed Banarasi, but the craft is the same — every motif in the border is built into the cloth thread by thread in Kadhua. Kora silk gives the textile its sheer, light hand; the result is a saree that holds the precision of Banarasi craft without the weight, which is its own kind of luxury.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully Nivi-style with the pallu pleated narrow. Pair with delicate gold or pearl drops and a tonal cream, ivory, or contrast cobalt blouse to play with the blue selvedge.

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.
