Ivory Banarsi Silk Potli Bag
A handwoven Banarasi silk potli in ivory, finished in the same loom discipline that defines a Banaras drape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the gathered crown of the potli draws the zari composition to a single point. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A potli of this finish carries the same loom-hours-per-square-inch as a saree of the same weave — every motif placed, no shortcut taken. Banarasi as a textile is a luxury because that placement discipline survives even into the smallest accessories from the loom.
Styling Note
Carry alongside a saree, lehenga or kurta-set; the ivory base sits comfortably with most jewel-toned ensembles. Pair with antique-gold or pearl jewellery for an evening event.

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom potli is not just carried — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the potli 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 potli, 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 potli stay beautiful for years.
