Pure Kora Silk Banarasi Saree for the Woman Who Loves Understated Luxury
If you want a saree that feels like a whisper on your shoulders but carries the full grandeur of Benares, this one is for you. This pure Kora silk Banarasi saree comes in a deep, jewel-like bottle green (We offer 100% Colour Customization — want it in a different colour? We’ll weave it fresh just for you in the colour of your choice!). The fabric is sheer, crisp and airy. Tiny gold and silver floral butis are scattered across the body, and a broad, shimmering contrast pallu anchors the whole look. It suits weddings, festive evenings and special family occasions equally well.
A Handloom Banarasi Saree Made on the Looms of Varanasi
This is a true Handloom Banarasi Saree. It is woven slowly on a traditional loom by weavers whose families have practised this craft for generations. Every motif is placed by hand, so no two sarees are exactly alike. That small irregularity is what separates a handloom piece from a machine-made one, and it is why this saree will feel like an heirloom for years to come.
Floral Buti Work That Catches the Light
Gold and Silver Butis Scattered Across the Body
Look closely at the body of the saree. Small floral butis in gold and silver float across the sheer Kora base at a light, even spacing. They are never crowded. Under daylight they give a soft sparkle, and under evening lights they glow. Because the butis are delicate, the saree looks refined rather than loud, and it works for the woman who wants to be noticed for her taste, not her sparkle alone.
Red Selvedge and Gold Leaf-Motif Border
A slim red selvedge runs along both edges of the saree. Inside it sits a narrow woven border of gold leaf motifs, and the combination gives the green body a crisp, framed finish. It is a classic Banarasi detail. The border is slim on purpose, so the body of the saree and the pallu remain the stars.
Contrast Pallu: The Showpiece of the Saree
Kadwa Weave Texture You Can See and Feel
The broad pallu is rich, burnished and metallic. Its surface is woven in a dense herringbone pattern, a classic Kadwa Weave texture. It catches the light in gentle waves and adds weight and drama, so the pallu falls beautifully when you drape it. A leaf-motif border edges the pallu on both sides, and a deep red end finishes it.
Why a Kadwa Saree Never Goes Out of Style
A well-made Kadwa Saree is built motif by motif, with each design woven separately into the fabric rather than carried across it. That is why the pattern feels so crisp and why this saree has such a confident, structured pallu. It also ages gracefully. Years from now you will still be reaching for it.
The Beauty of Pure Kora Silk
Kora silk, also called Kora organza, is prized for being light, translucent and naturally crisp. It holds its shape in pleats, drapes elegantly, and feels cool and comfortable even through a long wedding day. If you love this fabric, you can also explore more pure Kora silk sarees from our collection. Each one carries the same lightweight elegance in different shades and motifs.
A Handwoven Saree That Drapes Like a Dream
As a Handwoven Saree, this piece has a softness and flow you simply cannot get from power-loom fabric. The sheer body floats around you while the heavy pallu holds its fall. If you are a first-time Banarasi buyer, the lightness will pleasantly surprise you. If you are a seasoned collector, the quality will feel instantly familiar.
Lock Weaving for a Clean, Durable Finish
The contrast pallu is joined to the body using Lock Weaving. This technique interlocks the threads so the transition between sections is neat and strong, with no visible joins. It is one of those quiet details that shows real craftsmanship, and it helps the saree stay beautiful through many wears.
Styling Your Bridal and Festive Banarasi Silk Saree
The saree measures 6.5 metres, which gives you plenty of length for pleating, draping and showing off the pallu. It comes with an unstitched blouse piece in the same colour as the pallu, woven in a strip pattern. This lets you stitch a blouse that matches the saree’s contrast look perfectly. Pair it with traditional gold jewellery, such as a choker, jhumkas and bangles, for a wedding, or with minimal pearls for a festive dinner.
Choosing a green saree this rich in tone is a classic Indian tradition, and bottle green flatters almost every skin tone (We offer 100% Colour Customization — want it in a different colour? We’ll weave it fresh just for you in the colour of your choice!). At The Weaveloom, we believe a saree like this should be worn, loved and passed on. If you would like help choosing the right blouse design, our stitching service is available too.
