Violet Tussar Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree

A handwoven Banarasi Tussar silk saree in violet, drawn over with charming florals and scrolling vines along the open border. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the floral border edges the drape with intricate placement, finishing in a subtle aanchal that closes the saree without competing with the body. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Tussar silk has its own particular hand — slightly textured, with the natural rusticity that gives the fabric character. Banarasi work on Tussar is rare; the Kadhua tradition translates here as floral motifs built into the weave thread by thread, with the same loom patience that defines the craft. The luxury is in the marriage of an unconventional silk and a centuries-old technique. Styling Note Drapes beautifully Nivi-style with the pallu pleated narrow. Pair with antique-gold or oxidised silver jewellery — the slightly textured ground sits well with traditional craft pieces — and a tonal lavender, mustard, or ivory blouse.
