A ivory and green Banarasi saree in katan silk, carrying densely packed tanchoi motifs across the body with a kadhua border, with the Tanchoi & Kadhua discipline visible in every passage of the drape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Tanchoi is the satin-weave Banarasi tradition — pattern carried entirely by warp and weft, with no extra weft floats. The back of a true Tanchoi reads almost as cleanly as the front, and the dense motif packing is what gives the cloth its weighted, jewel-like fall.
Styling Note
Drape in a Nivi drape so the border and the anchal carry the eye. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and a green 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.
