Rangkat Pure Cotton Real Zari Banarasi Handloom Saree

A Handwoven Legacy

One of our finest pieces, this is an artistic treasure! Incredibly difficult to weave and timeless in its appeal, a Banarasi Rangkat saree is a rare, handloom masterpiece. Time-honoured bootis in the exquisite Jamdani weave and a distinctive pattern with multiple colours, all woven in pure zari made from Real Silver. This saree brings the best of Banarasi weaving traditions.

• Color¬†- Multiple rich and vibrant colours
• Technique¬†- Magical Jamdani and an enduring Kadwa weave. The elaborate and laborious Kadwa (Kadhua) technique involves hand-weaving each motif separately. It takes longer on the handloom, but makes a more robust pattern, which stands out on the fabric.
• Fabric¬†- Soft as butter, pure Katan silk
• Speciality¬†- Rangkat is a handloom technique which is on the verge of disappearing. Only a handful of¬†weavers remain that can weave a true Rangkat. This exquisite and time-intensive technique can be identified by the sharp¬†changes¬†in the base colours of the fabric. This requires multiple changes in the warp and the weft and produces a beautiful multicoloured garment.
• Tilfi Promise¬†-¬†Pure. Handloom. Banaras.

 

Since this product is handwoven, there might be slight irregularities. But isn't it charming that no-one else will ever own this beauty, handmade just for you?
