A handwoven Munga silk Banarasi saree in deep green, with cutwork motifs across the body — the loose floats trimmed clean to leave each butti reading as a precise, lifted shape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Cutwork is the finishing discipline that lets a Banarasi read as crisp as it does. Every loose weft float on the reverse is trimmed by hand after weaving, so the motif appears clean and isolated against the ground. It is finishing work that no machine can replicate at this scale.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi for a structured front. Pair with antique-gold or temple jewellery — deep green takes warm metal beautifully. A bottle-green, gold or ivory raw silk blouse anchors the tone.

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.
