Banaras · handloom · since the loom

Woven in Banaras, worn anywhere

Every piece here is handwoven on a pit loom in Banaras and chosen one at a time — pure katan, kora, tissue, khaddi georgette, munga and mashru silk, with the zari work that takes a weaver weeks rather than hours.

Handwoven, alwaysPit-loom, never power-loom. Every piece is one of one.

The three houses

Shop by drape

Sarees, unstitched suit sets and dupattas — the same looms, three ways to wear them.

The craft

Six weeks on a pit loom, for one saree

A Banarasi saree is not printed and it is not machine-woven. Two weavers sit at a pit loom and lift the warp by hand, thread by thread, following a punch-card pattern that was drawn before the first shuttle moved.

The zari is real metal thread. The motifs — kadhwa boota, shikargah, jaal, paithani, rangkaat — are named for how they are made, not for how they look, and each one changes what the loom can do next.

Before you order

Shipping, worldwide

We ship everywhere. These are the questions we are asked most — the full policy is on the shipping page.

We deliver Sarees and all other goods across the world. We have partnered with Courier Service Agents such as DHL and Fedex – you place the order at our Site and our backend team gets to work to ready your Saree. Once its ready for shipment, we handover the packed shipment to the Agents who will fly your parcel to wherever you are.

Each Saree is marked with the indicative days it would be ready for shipment. Therefore, if the product page shows 15 days, then the Saree will be ready from our end for dispatch. We thereafter, handover the parcels to the Courier Service Agent against a particular tracking number. Such tracking number will be sent to you, via SMS and email. You will then be able to yourself track your Shipment. Typically, it takes the Agent 15–20 days to deliver under their standard shipping norms. Please note that these global logistics companies deliver during working hours and during weekdays, so we would advise you to make someone available to receive the shipment during such hours/day at the Shipping Address mentioned in your Order.

Your shipping cost is calculated on the weight and size of each package including the product, the packing material etc. The shipping cost also factors in the country of shipment. Once you choose a product and add it to ‘My Cart’ and proceed to Checkout, you will be able to see the exact cost of shipping.

It does not matter how many sarees you ordered. The shipping cost is calculated only on the factors mentioned above i.e. size, weight and destination.

It is very simple. If you are returning a Saree because of a damaged product, the cost of shipping shall be entirely ours. In the event, you are returning a Saree because you do not like it anymore or if you would like to exchange it, then the cost shall be borne entirely by you. Its that simple! Please note however that any returns are subject to the product being in an absolute new condition and in the manner it was sent without the folds etc of the Saree being displaced. You can read more about it in our Exchange & Return Policy section.

No. It does not matter where you are from. The only thing that matters is the destination of delivery. If it is India, it is free – if it’s not in India, you will have to pay for it!

Once we handover your parcel to DHL, we take no responsibility towards the same. We are more than confident that a global leader such as DHL will surely be able to deliver your parcel. And yes, till date, they have never failed us.

We would request you to check with the Government of your Country of residence in relation to the application import duty on sarees. Since, we ship across the world, it is not possible to keep a tab on the ever changing custom duty structures of each and every country. Hence, to keep matters simple and easy, we have ensured that the prices of our sarees do not take into account the custom duties, if any.
