DISCLAIMER

Variations in yarn, weave and colour with occasional fiber migration are unique and intrinsic to this handwoven luxury textile.

Textiles made on handloom possess unique product characteristics and may have irregularities that are an outcome of the human involvement in the process.

When you transact with us, you expressly and unconditionally agree that the company uses handmade processes to weave and finish the products. Use of natural fibres that are hand crafted with traditional methods often create an unevenness in colour tones, shades, texture, with threads often appearing uneven in design and feel and occasional darn (rafu). We use both organic and commercial dyes with an objective of making the product sustainable. The purchaser agrees that these irregularities are an indigenous inclusion in handloom and are not defects. 

Kindly Note: The original colour may vary slightly due to your device screen settings or photography.

The oblique colour progression in the base warp and weft is a technique indigenous to Banaras weaving. These exquisite heirlooms need bird’s eye precision to weave. Two master craftsmen with skilful fingers alongside a junior artist work on the ‘Panchdama’ pit loom synergising the multiple treadle movement. The number of pirns used to weave the base warp goes to nearly 40 to 45 in number and the punched cards in the jacquard nearly about 3500 to 5000 depending on the intricacy of the rangkat. The shuttles used for the weft are also in couplets. ‘Rang’ meaning colour, ‘Kat’ meaning block, the colour blocking that came as a trend in the millennial era was always one of the signatures in the textile legacy of Banaras.

The blouse in the image is used for styling purposes only. The saree comes with its own self-blouse with a matching border.
