Frequently Asked Questions

The Kadhua Buti weave places small, delicate motifs in a fine, dense repeat across the body for a more understated look, whereas a Kadhua figure saree uses larger, bolder motifs — both are hand-woven using the same Kadhua technique, but the buti style suits those who prefer subtler detailing.

The cover is 45 x 45 cms, so an insert of about the same size, roughly 18 inches, gives a full, plump look. A slightly firmer insert keeps the woven panel flat and the corners sharp, which shows the brocade pattern at its best.

Yes — Khaddi weaving gives this hand-loomed Banarasi fabric a slightly textured, matte hand-feel compared to the smoother, glossier finish of standard mill-woven silk.

The dyes used are colour-set through the traditional Banarasi finishing process, so everyday exposure to light and occasional dry cleaning won't cause noticeable fading. To keep the blue at its richest for years, we'd still recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight and opting for dry cleaning over washing, which is standard care for any pure silk brocade textile.

Bandhani is a resist tie-dye technique applied to the fabric, offering a completely different visual texture from woven Banarasi motifs, and combining both crafts on one hand-loomed saree creates a unique fusion piece.

Bandhani is created by tying small sections of fabric before dyeing, producing a distinctive dotted pattern, unlike woven Banarasi patterns which are hand-loomed directly during weaving.
