Dark Purple Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Cutwork

Deep Purple Katan in Classic Cutwork
SKU-11472

Deep, saturated and quietly regal, dark purple is a colour that suits grand occasions. This Dark Purple Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Cutwork is woven in cutwork, the Banarasi technique known for crisp, clearly defined motifs, on a smooth katan base with a full, substantial weight. Kamalya Textiles' Varanasi brand, The Panaya, brings it to you in its cutwork range. Rich and dignified, it suits evening weddings, receptions and festive nights.

The Fabric: Katan Silk

At 776 g, this is a weightier katan saree. Katan's twisted silk yarn gives the fabric strength and a smooth, lustrous surface, and the extra body here lets the saree fall with real presence. The deep purple takes on a rich, even depth under the katan sheen. Browse more katan drapes in our Katan silk Banarasi sarees collection.

The Craftsmanship: Cutwork

Cutwork is one of the classic Banarasi weaving methods. While the saree is on the loom, the pattern thread is carried from one side of the fabric to the other; once weaving is complete, the loose lengths between motifs are trimmed, leaving each design element clean and distinct. On a heavier katan like this, cutwork motifs stand out crisply against the dark ground. See more pieces in our Cutwork Banarasi sarees collection.

Design & Colour Story

Dark purple is bold and dignified, and on katan it looks deep and luxurious. The cutwork pattern adds texture and interest without breaking the richness of the colour. It is a saree for women who love deep jewel tones and timeless design. Find more rich colours in our Banarasi sarees collection.
