A handwoven Banarasi Georgette silk saree in a subtle shade of pink, the field drawn with thread-by-thread Kadhua butis that read in even placement across the drape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with an intricate Banarasi border framing the drape and an anchal closed by an anchor motif. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kadhua on Georgette is a quietly demanding combination — the discipline of motifs woven thread by thread, set against the soft fall of a Georgette base. Each butti carries its own weft and is built into the cloth, not floated across the back. That is what makes a Banarasi piece read so cleanly on both sides of the textile.
Styling Note
Drape in a Nivi style for vertical fall, or in a Bengali drape to bring the anchal forward across both shoulders. Pair with kundan or polki — small jhumkas with a slim choker, or a single chand-bali. A tonal pink raw-silk blouse, or a contrasting old-gold tissue blouse, both finish the drape.

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.
