Teal Shikargah Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree
“Same hand, same cluster — a different breath of colour.”
Woven on the same family of looms as the saree you are holding. We have laid this one beside it more than once.
"This saree was woven the way Banaras has woven for four centuries — by hand, on a wooden pit loom, in counted threads. The small irregularities you may find are not flaws to overlook — they are the closest you will come to seeing the maker's hand, woven quietly into the fabric. The signature of a craft that has refused, for generations, to be made in any other way."

Three things we would tell you across the table.
Every saree here is a single piece off a handloom in Banaras. Small irregularities in the weave are the weaver’s hand, not a flaw — and the reason no two are the same.
