Magenta silk crossed with fine zari checks and finished with a bright saffron edge.
The checks are small and even, giving the body a quiet shimmer. A deep zari border in red and gold sits above the saffron selvedge, a contrast that frames the colour without overpowering it.

The weave
Banarasi is a silk weaving tradition rooted in Varanasi. On the handloom, zari and silk are woven together, so each motif is built into the cloth thread by thread rather than printed on it.
Care
Dry clean only. Store folded, away from damp and direct sunlight. Refold along new lines from time to time to rest the zari.

A note on handloom
Small irregularities in the weave are the mark of the hand, not flaws. Colours may vary slightly between screen and cloth.
