Fabrics and Textures
Our Banarasi blended silk dupattas are crafted from various fabric blends, offering a combination of elegance and comfort:

Silk-Cotton Blend: This blend combines the rich texture of silk with the breathability of cotton, offering a lightweight option that’s perfect for warmer weather while maintaining a luxurious feel.
Silk-Georgette Blend: Blending silk with georgette creates a soft, flowy dupatta that drapes gracefully. This fabric is slightly sheer and ideal for creating a feminine and elegant look, suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
Silk-Linen Blend: This unique blend brings the sheen of silk together with the natural feel of linen, resulting in a fabric with a slight texture and a matte finish. It’s perfect for a more understated, contemporary aesthetic.
Silk-Organza Blend: Organza adds an airy quality to silk, resulting in a lightweight, translucent fabric that’s both elegant and stylish. These dupattas are often adorned with intricate zari or thread work, ideal for a formal or festive look.
Techniques of Weaving and Embellishment
The beauty of Banarasi blended silk dupattas lies in the skilled craftsmanship and traditional techniques used to create them:

Zari Weaving: Metallic threads of gold and silver are intricately woven into the fabric to create patterns that shimmer with every movement. The combination of zari and silk-blended fabric results in dupattas that are lighter yet luxurious.
Resham Weaving: This technique incorporates colorful silk threads, creating detailed and vivid patterns. The use of Resham threadwork adds color and dimension, complementing the base fabric beautifully.
Cutwork Technique: Cutwork, also known as ‘poor man’s brocade,’ is a unique technique where the warp threads are cut away to reveal the intricate designs. This creates a textured, lightweight dupatta with intricate patterning.
Tanchoi Technique: Originating from the Persian weaving traditions, Tanchoi involves weaving with a single-color warp and multiple-colored wefts, producing richly detailed patterns without the need for extra zari, which keeps the fabric light.
Kadhua Technique: A hallmark of authentic Banarasi weaving, the kadhua technique involves hand-placing each motif separately, resulting in a beautifully detailed pattern with a rich texture.
