Copper Premium Pure Kadwa Katan Banarasi Saree

Copper is a metal Banaras knows well: in lotas, in lamps, in the vessels carried down to the ghats before sunrise. On silk, it holds the same steady glow. This saree is all-over Kadwa minakari, which is as far as this craft goes. Every motif is woven independently across the pure Katan ground, and coloured threads are brought into each one so the pattern shifts gently as you move. Loom time here is counted in months, not days. It is unmistakably grand, but the warmth of copper keeps it from turning cold or ceremonial. This is a saree for the wedding where you are family, not a guest. Banaras Karigari makes room in every collection for one piece like this — the one someone remembers you in.
