A handwoven Katan silk Banarasi saree in salmon pink, drawn over with thread-by-thread Kadhua buttis and finished with a Kuniya corner motif at the aanchal. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the corner motif framing the pallu like a small signature. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kadhua is the Banarasi technique built around restraint: every butti carries its own weft and the placement is set in advance. Add a Kuniya corner — a separately composed motif anchored at the aanchal — and the loom-hours stack. That kind of slow placement is exactly what gives Banarasi its weight and its glow.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully in a Nivi style. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and a rose or champagne raw-silk blouse to keep the salmon pink soft.

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.
