Peach Tanchoi Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Dupatta
A handwoven Banarasi dupatta in peach, woven in pure Katan silk with densely packed Tanchoi motifs across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with the satin ground reading cleanly on both faces. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Tanchoi is a satin-weave Banarasi technique celebrated for its smooth-faced ground and densely packed motif work. The pattern is carried entirely by warp and weft, with no extra weft floats — the back of a true Tanchoi reads almost as clean as the front. That density is the reason Tanchoi has always sat at the higher end of the loom.
Styling Note
Drape the dupatta in a simple front-fall or wrap it across one shoulder over a kurta. Pair with kundan, polki or antique-gold; peach takes warm metals well. A blush, sage or ivory kurta extends the palette.

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.
