  About This Saree

  This is a Blue Katan Silk Banarasi Saree (SKU 1316) with a Booti pattern woven using the specialized Tanchoi technique. It is handwoven in Varanasi by skilled weavers who have been practising this craft for generations.

  Katan Silk is a tightly twisted, pure mulberry silk. It gives the saree a firm body, a clean drape, and a natural sheen. It is one of the finest silks used in Banarasi weaving.

  Booti is one of the most cherished motif traditions in Banarasi heritage weaving. On this unique piece, the small, individual motifs — flowers, buds, leaves, or geometric forms — are scattered across the body in a graceful, rhythmic arrangement using the intricate Tanchoi technique. Unlike typical heavy metallic layouts, Tanchoi utilizes a dense, supplementary silk resham weft that weaves patterns directly into the fabric fabric warp, creating a soft, satin-smooth, jacquard-like raised relief effect. On a rich Blue base — vibrant, deep, and luminous — the silk Booti pattern resonates with a sophisticated, quiet-luxury aesthetic that shifts beautifully in evening light. The Tanchoi weave ensures a completely smooth, snag-free reverse finish that lies perfectly flat against the body and endures for decades.
