A beige Banarasi saree in pure Kora silk, with Kadhua butti drawn thread by thread across the sheer body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with an intricate Banarasi border framing the drape and an anchor motif closing the anchal. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kora silk is one of the lighter Banarasi grounds, and Kadhua on Kora is among the harder combinations — the sheer field shows every loom decision. Each butti reads precisely because it was placed individually, weft by weft, in a way no quicker technique allows.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi for a clean reading of the motifs, or open-pallu to display the sheer field. Pair with antique-gold or polki — beige gives the metal room to glow. A champagne, cream or pale-gold raw silk blouse keeps the palette quiet.

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.
