For times immemorial, Banarasi handwoven and then handloom sarees and attires were either worn by Dieties and hence were called Dev Vastra, or were worn by the royals and elites of the society. The natural fabric, with its soft sheen and in bright colours used to make for the best Occasional attires. Nowadays, the same impact is carried when the celebrities wear silk. A similar glamourous effect was created as Raashii Khanna radiates regality in our brocade banarasi. Though we are always meticulous in curating our collection, Sacred Weaves feels another charm added to our efforts when popular femina of today wear our sarees.

Brocade Banarasi – A weave fit for royalty

Silk in itself has a soft luster of its own and if it is handwoven or handloom spun, the texture has a charm which allows a wonderful play of light on it. If you add the gorgeous metal threadwork woven on it then you should see how the light bounces off of it and spreads through the entire yardage. This is probably just how us at Sacred Weaves gush about the banarasi handloom silk sarees, and more so if it has brocade added to it.

The Brocade is a technique where metal thread work is used across the body of the saree in a dense pattern of natural elements like floral vines, leaves, buta patterns, and more. The border usually carries a contrast vertical direction to the body and has geometrically arranged natural floral depictions throughout. Does this sound close to the saree that Raashii Khanna dazzled in? Maybe, but let us discuss the saree and her look in detail.

Here is the detail.

The richly darker mustard tone of the base of the saree has a great charm of its own. The colour remains vibrant and yet adorns a different sophistication because we know how yellow can be a complex colour which needs to be balanced and not look haughty or even disturbing to the eyes. While adding the sophistication, mustard yellow also has the nature’s fertility and the whole Basant Ritu vibes written all over it. If it stopped at that, our master artisans went steps ahead and made Mother Nature a fine dedication through this saree. They used dense brocade work on the entire body. The colour of the thread, a softer beaten gold tone, adds the sheen and also maintains the contrast with the mustard yellow in the base.
