Note: Kora silk blend with katan border as specified by vendor.
This purple kora silk Banarasi saree is light, sheer and glowing with gold. Small gold zari butis sit across the deep purple body. A wide gold border with a fine pink edge frames the drape, woven with floral and paisley patterns. At the end, the pallu opens into large gold paisleys on a pink ground, finished with tassels.
The blouse piece matches the purple body and carries the same gold and pink border. It comes unstitched, so your tailor can make it in your size and style. Use the border on the sleeves for a classic Banarasi finish.
Kora silk is raw silk that weavers use before washing out its natural gum. As a result, it feels light and slightly sheer, a little like organza, yet soft to touch. The border uses katan, a smooth silk made from twisted threads, so it has a richer sheen. The saree is Silk Mark certified, so you know the silk is genuine.
Weavers make this saree on a handloom using the kadhua technique. They weave each buti and paisley by hand, one motif at a time. Because of this, the back stays neat, without loose threads. The method takes far longer than machine weaving, which is why kadhua sarees are so valued.
Wear it with gold jhumkas, gold bangles and fresh jasmine in a low bun, as in the photo. A pink or gold blouse also works well, since it picks up the colours of the border.
Weddings and receptions, engagements, Diwali and festive pujas, temple visits, and gifting.
