Hallmarks

pure katan silk, kadhwa hand weave, gold and silver real zari.

Banaras silk does not show off, it whispers. The kadhwa weave is slower than every other Banarasi technique, and you can read the patience in how the zari sits flat against the silk. Photographed inside our atelier on Road №10, Jubilee Hills. To see this banarasi silk in person, or on a private video call, send us a quick WhatsApp.

Most pieces in this archive are one of a kind. If this saree has already found a home, we will either show you its closest cousin or commission a near twin from the same cluster and the same hand.
