Genuine zari can dull slightly with age, humidity, or repeated handling, which is normal for hand-woven metallic thread work.

Occasional gentle airing helps maintain the shine, and dry cleaning is recommended over any home washing.

This soft blue works well with a contrasting ivory, silver, or deep navy blouse for a classic look, or a metallic gold blouse if you want more warmth against the cool base.

Butis are individually spaced motifs hand-loomed across the saree, while jaal forms a continuous, interconnected pattern spanning the entire body — both classic techniques in Banarasi weaving.
