A handwoven Banarasi Kora silk saree in light green, carrying thread-by-thread Kadhua motifs across the body and a Kuniya corner-motif that closes the pallu. 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.
Kora silk gives Banarasi its airy, translucent hand — the saree holds the zari close to the surface and throws the motifs forward in light. The Kuniya corner is its own day of work at the loom; the textile is a luxury because each placement is earned, not applied.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi-style with the pallu pleated narrow so the Kuniya corner reads cleanly. Pair with polki or classic gold and a tonal ivory or contrast emerald 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.
