Pure katan silk woven on a handloom in Varanasi, with a kadhwa buti scattered across the body and a broad Surat zari border running the full length of the pallu. The gold is real tested zari, not metallic polyester, which is why it sits heavy in the hand and catches light rather than glare.
This is the saree our customers buy for the wedding they are attending, not hosting - formal enough for the mandap, comfortable enough to wear from the haldi through the reception. It ships with a matching unstitched blouse piece from the same warp, and our Ahmedabad tailors will stitch it to your measurements before it leaves.
