Red Banarsi Silk Belt

A handwoven Banarasi silk belt in deep red, paced on the same Varanasi looms as the larger drapes. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the red ground holds gold work with weight, catching the light along the waist. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Red is among the most demanding grounds for zari — the colour needs precise placement for the gold to read cleanly. A Banarasi belt carries the same hand discipline as a saree, and that placement work is what keeps the textile a luxury across every scale of object it leaves the loom in. Styling Note Cinches beautifully over a saree, lehenga or contrast kurta to define the waist. Pair with gold or kundan jewellery; the red sits powerfully alongside ivory, gold or black ensembles.
