Vivid Silk Linen Black Saree Buta

What are the butas on the Vivid saree?

Butas are small woven motifs, and here they are leaf-shaped, woven into the silk linen in the Banarasi style rather than printed. They are gold-toned and scattered across a black body, with a broad gold zari border and a striped zari pallu. It looks plain from afar and reveals its pattern up close.

How do I keep the black looking deep?

Look after it and it will stay deep. Keep it to dry cleaning, store it in its own bag in a dry place, and dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp. Change the folds regularly and let it air in dry air now and then.

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.

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 feel and a subtle sheen from the silk. The fabric is chosen for both elegance and durability, which makes it easy to wear for long hours.

What makes it a Banarasi saree?

The name refers to the craft. The motifs and border are worked in Banarasi brocade, so they are woven into the cloth rather than printed or embroidered on top. Here the technique is used on a silk linen base, and Banarasi brocade remains a symbol of luxury and elegance in Indian textiles.
