Stimulating Banarasi Silk Linen Yellow Handloom Saree

What is the Stimulating saree like?

The body is a bright lemon yellow, kept plain, with wide gold floral scroll borders in Banarasi brocade. The pallu is plain in contrast, so the gold work sits along the borders and the yellow gets room to stand out. It looks fresh and cheerful.

What blouse goes with lemon yellow?

The attached matching blouse keeps it fresh. For contrast, deep green, teal or navy make the yellow stand out, and a maroon blouse gives a more festive feel. Gold jewellery suits it.

Why is a Bhagalpur saree called Banarasi?

Banarasi refers to the brocade weaving technique and motif style named after Banaras. This saree is woven at our Bhagalpur hub, using that Banarasi brocade approach on a silk-linen base, so you get classic gold floral motifs along the borders.

Is it handwoven?

Yes, it is a handloom saree from our Bhagalpur hub. Look closely and you will see the small signs of a weaver at work: slight variations in the weave, and motifs that are close to identical but not machine-perfect. Those are the marks of handloom, and they make every piece a little different.

What is silk linen like to wear?

It blends silk with linen, so you get linen's natural texture and breathability with a soft hand and a subtle sheen from the silk. It is also durable, and comfortable enough for long hours at festive events, pujas or a full day at the office.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Keep it in its own fabric bag in a dry place, refold it along new lines now and then, and give it some airing on a dry day so the fibres stay fresh. If it ever gets damp, let it dry in the shade, not in direct sun.
