Peach Cutwork Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Dupatta
A handwoven summer-silk Banarasi dupatta in a soft peach, drawn over with hand-finished cutwork motifs across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the cutwork trimmed by hand from the reverse for a sharp, finished surface. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Cutwork is the Banarasi take on jamdani — extra weft floats are woven in to form each motif and then carefully clipped away from the back. The front carries a crisp, deliberate pattern; the back tells you how much hand-work went into it. It is a discipline that cannot be machine-replicated and is the reason a true Cutwork piece reads as both light and luxurious.
Styling Note

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom dupatta is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the dupatta 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 dupatta, 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 dupatta stay beautiful for years.
