A handwoven Katan silk Banarasi saree in soft yellow, drawn over with Kadhua floral motifs and finished with a flowering border that runs the length of the drape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the florals worked thread by thread. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Floral Kadhua sits in a long lineage of Banarasi composition where each flower is built into the weave itself. The placement is set in advance and held throughout the warp — any drift would show, which is why the weaver works slowly and to plan. The result is a saree whose pattern reads as one continuous, deliberate composition.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully in a Nivi style. Pair with kundan or polki jewellery and a deep mustard or rust-toned raw-silk blouse to lift the warm 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.
