Light Blue Leaf Motif Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Dupatta
A handwoven Banarasi Katan silk dupatta in light blue, drawn over with thread-by-thread Kadhua leaf motifs across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate Banarasi border frames the drape on every edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Light blue is a ground that lets the gold work read with particular clarity — neither warm enough to compete nor cool enough to swallow. A Kadhua leaf is one of the most delicate compositions on the Banaras loom: every vein placed, every stem carried by its own weft. The luxury of the drape is in that quiet, hand-paced precision.
Styling Note
Drape over a tonal suit or contrast kurta — fold the pallu narrow so the leaf motifs read. Pair with polki or silver-gold and an ivory or contrast navy base layer.

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