A handwoven Banarasi Satin silk saree in pink, with Kadhua butti laid over the full field of the drape and the silk catching light along its smooth, polished ground. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
The discipline of Kadhua is what makes the textile rare. Each motif rests in its own pool of weft, picked individually, never carried across the back of the cloth. On a satin silk ground the contrast is doubled — the polished field throws every zari motif forward, so the slow loom work reads clearly across the drape.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi for a clean satin sweep, or Bengali to let the pallu drape softly. Pair with kundan or polki; pink takes both gold and rose-gold metals. A rose, blush or deeper-pink raw silk blouse extends the palette.

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.

Every Stuti Weaves saree is woven to a standard width of 44–46 inches.
