Description

The origin of these timeless elegant sarees took place at one of the oldest cities of the human race; Varanasi, where the weaving units till date weave these silk saris meticulously by hand. The sarees are known to employ real gold and silver threads for weaving the embroidery and take about six months to a year for finishing. Most of the characteristic motifs and designs on a pure Banarasi silk saree are inspired from the Mughal period including detailed floral motifs, foliate motifs and a string of leaves on the border called ‘Jhallar’. A typical Banarasi sari has gold brocade or ‘Zari’ work, small motifs or designs, compact weaving, metallic appeal, heavy ‘Pallu’ and ‘Meenakari’ work.

Cotton sarees are the most widely used sarees because of its simplicity and make and is preferred for daily use. There is a wide range of cotton sarees with elaborate designs making use use of real Zari and Resham Meenakari work on it.

The process of ‘mercerising’ is a textile finishing treatment for cellulose fabric and yarn, mainly cotton and flax, which improves the dye uptake and tear strength, reduces fabric shrinkage, and imparts a silk-like lustre. Ideal for casual wear, the mercerised cotton sarees are one step ahead in being soft and radiant and is one of the best choices for wearing in humid climate.
