Yellow-Green Pure Katan Silk Banarasi Handloom Saree

Vintage Banarasi. Regal Mughal bootas in the extraordinary kadhua weave with hints of meenakari, beautiful floral bels and a perfectly elegant colour - all come together to make this enthralling handloom beauty. 

• Color - A unique shot colour with a warp of Yellow and a weft of Green
• Technique - An enduring Kadwa weave and fine Meenakari technique. 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. Meenakari involves the painstaking addition of supplementary coloured resham threads during the hand-weaving process. 
• Fabric - Soft as butter, pure Katan Silk
• Speciality - The gorgoues motifs, woven densely across the body are old Banarasi favourites which have stood the test of time. This is a little piece of handwoven history.
• Tilfi Promise - Pure. Handloom. Banaras.
