Steel Blue Tissue Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Booti

Steel Blue Tissue with Kadwa Bootis
SKU-11937

Steel blue is cool, polished and quietly striking, a colour that feels both modern and refined. This Steel Blue Tissue Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Booti carries kadwa bootis, small motifs made with one of the most painstaking methods in Banarasi weaving. It comes from The Panaya, the Varanasi brand of Kamalya Textiles, and is made for the woman who values craftsmanship as much as colour. Wear it to receptions, festive evenings and formal celebrations.

The Fabric: Tissue Silk

The tissue in this saree combines silk with metallic zari, giving the fabric a soft shine that suits the cool tone of steel blue. At 586 g, the saree is light and comfortable, and the subtle glow keeps the blue lively rather than flat. Our Tissue silk Banarasi sarees collection has more pieces in this fabric.

The Craftsmanship: Kadwa Booti

Kadwa (also written kadhua) is a technique in which each motif is woven individually. Instead of running the pattern thread across the whole width, the weaver works it only within the motif, interlocking it with the base, so there are no loose floats to cut away. It takes far longer than cutwork, but the bootis come out sturdier, with a cleaner finish on the reverse. Explore more pieces made this way in our Kadwa Banarasi sarees collection. For a close look at the kadwa finish, front and back, message us on WhatsApp or book a video call.

Design & Colour Story

Steel blue sits between grey and blue, with a cool, metallic undertone that pairs naturally with tissue's sheen. The kadwa bootis add fine detail without breaking the calm of the colour. It is an elegant, contemporary shade for women who like understated luxury. Find more blues and other shades in our Banarasi sarees collection.

• Wedding & Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: A sophisticated choice for a reception, an engagement or a cocktail evening. Pair it with silver, diamond or polki jewellery and a sleek low bun.
• Festive Celebrations & Puja: For Diwali parties or a festive dinner, steel blue offers a refreshing change from warm tones. Add pearl drops and a silver clutch.
