Incredible Varieties, Exclusive Range

OUR BANARASI SAREES COME WITH A SEAL OF TRUST

KATAN SILK SAREE

Katan silk is the most famous Silk Saree from Banaras, known for its Softness and Shine. It is woven using pure Mulberry Silk in both Warp and Weft. Technically, it is a Two-Ply twisted yarn of Mulberry Silk with 28-32 twists per inch (TPI).

KORA SILK

Kora Silk is the same as Katan silk, but the silk yarn used is without de-gumming. This means the gum is not completely removed from the yarn, making it stiff. That is why Kora silk is just a stiffer version of Katan silk. It can also be seen as unbleached Katan silk in both warp and weft.

TANCHOI SAREE

Tanchoi is a Dream Weave from Banaras. Most of us know it for the intricately woven pattern all over the Saree that charmingly carries the Shine of Silk thread. It is a weaving technique that uses a single or double warp and five or six colors in the weft. Floral patterns are most common in Tanchoi Sarees but sometimes we also see birds like peacocks and parrots woven in silk. Overall, these Sarees give the look of a Tapestry.

JAMDANI SAREE

Jamdani weave has each Buti woven individually using small shuttles in a floatless weave. It is like fine embroidery done using weaving. Traditionally, Jamdani saris use the shades of the same color, giving Saris the names of the primary color like Shwetambari for white, Nilambari for Blue, Raktambari for red, and Pitambari for yellow.
