Artistic Banarasi Silk Linen Cherrywine Handloom Saree

What is the Artistic saree's border like?

A broad gold-toned brocade border of large floral motifs runs along the cherry-wine body. The deep wine with warm gold is a rich combination, and the border is wide enough to show clearly in the pleats and on the pallu.

What blouse goes with cherry wine and gold?

The blouse piece comes attached, ready for your tailor. A gold blouse picks up the zari for festive evenings. For contrast, bottle green or mustard looks striking against the wine. Antique gold jewellery completes it.

What is Banarasi brocade?

Brocade is a weaving technique in which extra threads are woven into the fabric to create patterns. Banarasi brocade is the classic Indian form of it, known for ornate motifs. Here it is woven on silk linen, which gives you the richness of brocade on a soft, breathable base.

Where can I wear it?

Festive days and temple visits or pujas suit it first, as deep wine and gold look rich and traditional. It also works for evening dinners, kitty lunches and dressier office days, where the plain body keeps the wide gold border the focus.

Will storing it folded damage the brocade?

Not if you change the folds now and then, as the care instructions for this saree recommend. Refold it along fresh lines regularly, store it in its own bag in a dry place, and air it in non-moist air in the shade occasionally.
