A handwoven Banarasi cotton saree in a warm sunset yellow, carrying thread-by-thread Kadhua buttis at measured intervals across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border frames the drape on every edge and the aanchal closes with an anchor motif. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A cotton Kadhua piece reads as restrained Banarasi: a soft, matt ground with the zari concentrated only where the motifs sit. The technique itself, where each butti carries its own weft, is the reason a piece like this takes weeks on the loom and looks built rather than printed.
Styling Note
Drapes well in a Nivi or Bengali style. Pair with gold jhumkas or temple jewellery and a deep maroon or ochre cotton blouse for warm contrast.

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.
