Rangkat Pure Katan Silk Banarasi Handloom Saree

Aaheli

Aaheli - A pure, handwoven legacy. One of our finest pieces, an artistic treasure! Incredibly difficult to weave and timeless in its appeal, a Banarasi Rangkat saree is a rare, handloom masterpiece. Time-honoured bootis, a rich pallu adorned with exquisite paisleys and a riot of beautiful colours. This saree brings the best of Banarasi weaving traditions.

• Color - Multiple rich and vibrant colours
• Technique - An enduring Kadwa weave. This elaborate and laborious 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 don't you think these add to the singular charm of a handloom beauty?
