A statement Banarasi silk saree in fuchsia pink, scattered with handwoven butterfly motifs that lift across the body like a flutter of wings. The motifs, anchal and border are entirely woven in zari — the pallu opens into a wide scalloped border filled with a dense floral zari jaal that catches and throws light from across a room. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
The detailing here is the work of weeks at the loom. Each butterfly is built into the fabric thread by thread in the Kadhua tradition — never embroidered after — which is why a Banarasi piece reads as a single, unbroken composition, and why the textile has stayed a luxury for centuries.
The drape carries a second weave too: Ektara. Where Kadhua gives the piece its precision, Ektara gives it its hand — softer, flowier, with a deeper gloss and an easier hand to drape.
Styling Note
A piece that asks for minimum jewellery — high-set kundan studs or a single statement choker, hair pulled back, an ivory or pale-pink blouse to let the fuchsia ground hold the room. Best draped Nivi-style with a long, flat pallu so the scalloped border reads as a continuous line.
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.
