A handwoven Banarasi Satin silk saree in cool grey, drawn over with a Jamawar Tanchoi composition that fills the body with densely packed multi-colour motifs. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate Banarasi border frames the drape on every edge, with the aanchal echoing the multi-colour Jamawar rhythm. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Jamawar is the multi-colour layering of Tanchoi — coloured resham threads are introduced alongside the zari so the motifs hold their own palette against the ground. The result is a textile that reads almost like woven embroidery, except every colour is built into the cloth itself. A piece this dense takes patient, slow loom hours, and the luxury is in the cumulative weight of the placement.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi-style with the pallu pleated wide so the Jamawar pattern reads across the pallu. Pair with kundan or polki — coloured stones answer the multi-colour weave beautifully — and a tonal grey, deep maroon or ivory raw silk blouse.

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.
