A deep maroon Banarasi saree, drawn over with Kairy paisley motifs woven thread-by-thread across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border running in a steady paisley march and the anchal carrying a denser arrangement of the same motif. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Maroon on Katan silk gives Banarasi its most classical reading, and the Kadhua Kairy work on this drape is what places it in the luxury register — every paisley is built into the cloth on its own little weft, so the back of the saree carries no loose floats and the front reads as a single, painted-on field. That precision is the result of weeks at the pit loom.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape with the anchal held long lets the paisleys read in full. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and an ivory or deep-maroon raw-silk blouse.

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.
