Pure Handloom Banarasi Kora Silk Saree

A Pure Handloom Banarasi Kora Silk Saree with Kaduwa Antique Zari is a masterpiece of Indian craftsmanship. It represents a perfect blend of ethereal lightness and regal tradition

1. The Fabric: Kora Silk (Organza)Texture: Kora silk is a thin, plain-weave sheer fabric made from degummed silk yarns. This gives it a signature crisp, slightly stiff texture that holds its shape beautifully. Look: It has a natural, subtle sheen and a translucent quality that makes it feel airy and weightless compared to heavy Katan silk.

2. The Technique: Kaduwa (Kaduwa) Weaving The Process: Unlike the Phekwa (cutwork) technique, Kaduwa is an intensive needle-work style where each motif is individually woven into the fabric.

The Result: There are no loose threads on the back of the saree. Each floral or geometric buta looks as clean on the inside as it does on the outside. This makes the saree more durable and a true collector’s item.

3. The Embellishment: Antique Zari Aesthetic: Instead of the bright, flashy yellow of traditional gold Zari, Antique Zari has a muted, bronzed, or “oxidized” finish.

Vibe: It lends a vintage, sophisticated, and understated royal look. It is often preferred by those who find bright gold too overwhelming but still want the richness of Zari. 

Weight -Extremely lightweight and easy to carry for long hours.

Occasion – Perfect for morning weddings, high-end galas, or summer festivities. Handloom Mark Being pure handloom, each piece is unique and carries the weaver’s soul.

Longevity – Antique Zari doesn’t “tarnish” in appearance as quickly as bright Zari since it already has a darkened, vintage patina.
