Peach Kadhua Meenadar Munga Silk Handloom Saree

A handwoven Munga silk Banarasi saree in a soft peach, drawn over with Kadhua meenakari — motifs in coloured silk worked alongside the zari. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with the meena enamelling the buttis from inside the weave. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Meenadar is what gives the saree its enamel-jewel quality — coloured silk worked into the same composition as the zari, so the motifs read in two materials at once. That layering takes longer at the loom, and the finished cloth carries the look of cloisonné rather than embroidery. Styling Note Drape in Nivi to let the meena buttis catch the light evenly. Pair with rose-gold or polki — peach takes pink-gold beautifully. A blush or muted-coral raw silk blouse keeps the palette quiet around the meena.
