A mulberry-pink Banarasi saree in pure Katan silk, with Kairy paisley motifs sweeping across the body in a measured rhythm. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with the paisleys repeating along the wide border. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
In Kadhua, the motif is not added to the cloth; it is the cloth. Every paisley is laid in, thread for thread, on a loom that demands days of focus for a span of inches. That refusal to hurry is what marks Banarasi out as a luxury textile.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi for a clean read of the paisleys, or Gujarati to bring the anchal forward. Pair with kundan or polki; mulberry takes warm gold beautifully. A wine, rose or burnt-orange raw silk blouse anchors 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.
