Modern Grey with Antique Zari Bootis
SKU-33099

Grey is a modern, sophisticated choice for women who love elegance without fuss. This Grey Dupion Silk Banarasi Saree – Antique Zari Booti is woven with antique zari bootis, small motifs in zari with a muted, old-gold finish, repeated across the body. It comes from The Panaya, the Varanasi brand of Kamalya Textiles, and brings Banarasi tradition to a contemporary colour. Wear it to evening events, receptions and formal celebrations.

The Fabric: Dupion Silk

Dupion silk has a crisp feel and a subtle shimmer that come from the natural slubs in its yarn. At 447 g, this saree is light and easy to wear, and its crisp structure gives the drape a clean, tailored look. Find more pieces in our Dupion silk Banarasi sarees collection.

The Craftsmanship: Antique Zari Booti

Antique zari is finished to look gently aged, with a deeper, less shiny gold than bright zari, which gives it a vintage, understated charm. On this saree it forms small Antique Zari Booti, repeated motifs that add sparkle while leaving the grey base clean and calm. Explore more Banarasi weaves in our Banarasi sarees collection.

Design & Colour Story

Grey is calm, refined and surprisingly versatile. Against it, the antique zari bootis glow softly, giving the saree a quiet richness that feels very modern. It is a colour that pairs well with silver, pearls or antique gold.

Occasion & Styling Guide

• Wedding & Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: A chic choice for a reception, a cocktail evening or an engagement party. Pair it with diamond or polki jewellery and a sleek, low ponytail for a contemporary look.
• Festive Celebrations & Puja: For Diwali parties or festive dinners, grey makes an elegant alternative to bright colours. Add a contrast blouse in pink, maroon or mustard for a pop of colour.
• Traditional Family Gatherings: Great for formal family events, a parent's anniversary or a dinner with the in-laws. Keep the jewellery minimal and let the zari bootis shine.
