Adorable Banarasi Silk Linen Handloom Purple Saree

What does the Adorable saree look like when draped?

It has a deep purple body with a wide silver-toned brocade pallu falling from the shoulder and a matching brocade border along the pleats. The pallu ends in tassels. The silver zari against purple gives a cool, regal look.

What jewellery goes with deep purple and silver?

Silver, oxidised or kundan-with-silver pieces suit the zari. For a festive evening, antique gold also looks rich against purple. Keep it to earrings and a bangle or two so the brocade stays the focus.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. A matching blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and the 6.3 to 6.4 metre length includes it. Have your tailor cut it off before the first drape and stitch it to your measurements and preferred neckline.

Why is a Bhagalpur saree called Banarasi?

Banarasi here names the brocade weaving technique and its motif style, not the place it was made. This saree comes from our Bhagalpur hub, where the Banarasi brocade is woven on a silk-linen base and the colour is hand dyed, giving it a wide silver-gold floral border and pallu.

Why are there small irregularities in the weave?

Because it is woven by hand. Tension changes a little as the weaver works, and each motif is built by hand on the loom, so you may see a slub, a slightly thicker thread or a tiny variation in a repeat. These are characteristics of handloom, not flaws.

Does silk linen feel soft or crisp?

It feels soft, with the natural texture of linen. The blend brings together the luxurious feel of silk and linen's characteristic texture, so the fabric is both soft and breathable, with a subtle sheen from the silk. That balance makes it pleasant to wear through a festive day or an evening out.

Can I hand wash silk linen?

We recommend dry cleaning only. Between wears, keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly and air it in non-moist air. If it ever gets damp, dry it in the shade. For small spills, blot gently and leave the rest to a dry cleaner who handles silk.
