Design & Craftsmanship This exquisite fabric is a testament to the heritage of Banarasi weaving. Set against a deep, midnight black base, the textile is densely ornamented with an all-over pattern of gold zari. The motif features a repeating “Keri” or stylized leaf-bud design, meticulously woven into the silk to create a textured, three-dimensional effect known as Kimkhab or heavy brocade.
Material & Texture Crafted from high-quality silk, the fabric possesses a natural sheen that interacts beautifully with light. The heavy zari work gives the material a structured, substantial feel, ensuring it holds its shape while maintaining the signature fluidity of authentic Banarasi silk. The “Antique Gold” finish of the thread provides a vintage, royal aesthetic rather than a harsh, bright metallic look.
Styling & Versatility This fabric is a versatile masterpiece for both traditional and contemporary silhouettes:
-
Traditional: Ideal for a classic saree, a structured lehenga kali, or a long Anarkali bodice.
-
Contemporary: Perfect for modern luxury menswear like a Sherwani or Nehru jacket, as well as women’s high-fashion blazers or evening clutches.
-
Home Decor: Its durability and opulence also make it suitable for premium upholstery accents or heavy festive table runners.
Care Note: Due to the delicate nature of the silk and the density of the zari work, this fabric requires professional dry cleaning to maintain its luster and prevent snagging.
