{"product_id":"banarasi-soft-silk-saree-rich-paisley-pallu","title":"Banarasi Soft Silk Saree — Allover Buta with Rich Paisley Pallu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA soft silk Banarasi worked the classic way: a plain body carrying nothing but zari \u003cem\u003ebutas\u003c\/em\u003e — the small leaf-and-bud motif — spaced evenly across it, and then a pallu that does all the work. The pallu is dense paisley and floral zari in banded rows, with a jhallar of peacock and lotus forms along the edge, and the border repeats that peacock motif down both selvedges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe restraint is the point. Because the body is quiet, the pallu reads as the event, and the saree carries a wedding without competing with the jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft silk saree, approximately 5.5 metres, with a running blouse piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllover zari butas across a plain body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich paisley and floral zari pallu with a peacock and lotus jhallar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeacock-motif zari border along both edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft finish — drapes and pleats without stiffness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight colourways, including two dual-tone shot-silk shades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGold zari or silver\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zari is not the same metal across the range, so it is worth checking before you pick a shade to match jewellery you already own. \u003cstrong\u003eBlack, coral and rust orange\u003c\/strong\u003e are woven in gold and antique-copper zari. \u003cstrong\u003eRed, magenta purple, bottle green, teal green and peacock blue\u003c\/strong\u003e are woven in silver-white zari. Silver-zari sarees sit better with silver, oxidised or kundan-and-pearl jewellery than with yellow gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the running blouse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saree comes with a \u003cem\u003erunning\u003c\/em\u003e blouse piece — the blouse fabric is cut from the same roll as the saree body, so it matches rather than contrasts. If you prefer a contrast blouse, the zari in the border is the tone to pick up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on the two dual-tone shades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coral and the teal-green are shot silks, woven with one colour in the warp and another in the weft. They change tone as you move — the coral reads pink in some light and orange in others, the teal-green shifts towards blue. Photographs can only show one of those states, so expect more variation in the hand than the picture suggests. That is the fabric behaving correctly, not a colour mismatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHonestly about provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saree is handwoven and curated by us — it does not come from our own Kolkata embroidery workshop. We also describe the fabric the way our weaver describes it to us, soft silk, rather than claiming a fibre percentage we have not had tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry clean only. Store folded in cotton, and refold along a different line every few months so the zari does not crease into one permanent fold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kizmit Designs","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49711883944091,"sku":"KD-BRP-001","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":49711883976859,"sku":"KD-BRP-002","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rust Orange","offer_id":49711884009627,"sku":"KD-BRP-003","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coral Dual-Tone","offer_id":49711884042395,"sku":"KD-BRP-004","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magenta Purple","offer_id":49711884075163,"sku":"KD-BRP-005","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle Green","offer_id":49711884107931,"sku":"KD-BRP-006","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Teal Green Dual-Tone","offer_id":49711884140699,"sku":"KD-BRP-007","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Peacock Blue","offer_id":49711884173467,"sku":"KD-BRP-008","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/4376\/7707\/files\/banarasi-soft-silk-saree-rich-paisley-pallu-1.jpg?v=1791394992","url":"https:\/\/kizmitdesigns.in\/products\/banarasi-soft-silk-saree-rich-paisley-pallu","provider":"Kizmit Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
