The story
Black was not a traditional Banarasi ground until the trade with Persian merchants in the 17th century. This saree carries silver zari flowers on a black field with a gold trellis border. The brocade adds 480 grams of weight. It is the saree women ask us for when they want to make an entrance.
How we source
Woven at the loom, carried to Kalbadevi, sold to one family.
Every piece we stock is bought directly from the master weaver. No middlemen. No mill production. Ramubhai will tell you the thread count, the loom number, and the weaver's name.
