Is hand block printing the same as hand painting on a Banarasi saree? +

Off-White Self-Weave Luxe Pure Pashmina Scarf View product →
Can pashmina scarves be dyed in custom colours? +
Pashmina fibre takes dye well, which is why it's available in such a wide colour range; however, this particular collection is offered in fixed, ready-made shades.
Olive Green Couture Pure Brocade Silk Banarasi Bedcover View product →
Will the olive-gold tone suit a warm or wood-toned bedroom palette? +
Yes, the olive-gold colourway was chosen specifically to complement warm interiors, think teak, walnut, or brass accents, where its earthy green grounds the gold zari rather than competing with it. It also pairs naturally with mustard, rust, or cream linens for a layered, heritage-inspired look.

Is olive green Pashmina considered a sophisticated, muted choice? +
Yes, olive green's understated, earthy depth offers a sophisticated, muted alternative to brighter green tones.
Olive Grove Designer Handloom Pure Brocade Banarasi Cushion Cover View product →
Is this cover suitable for an open veranda? +
It suits a sheltered veranda or indoor sitting area. Brocade and zari are best kept away from rain, damp and strong direct sun, so we recommend bringing the cover indoors after use and storing it dry. For lasting beauty, treat it as a fine decorative piece.
Opal Mandala Designer Handloom Pure Brocade Banarasi Cushion Cover View product →
Are the pastel shades fixed or do they vary piece to piece? +
The blending of shades comes from the handloom process, so the exact placement of blush, sage and lavender differs slightly in every piece. The overall palette is consistent, but your cover will have its own pattern of colour, which is part of what makes handwoven brocade special.
