We love a romantic lehenga embroidered with pearls all over it, or a saree with over the top mirror-work ornamentation, but nothing can match the understated elegance of a classic handloom garment. It is beautiful without trying too hard, commands attention without asking for it. There is something special about knowing that your garment isn’t mass-produced, but took great meticulousness and attention to detail to create. That the piece is woven manually and that’s what makes it unique. Not to forget, it’s a matter of pride to be wearing something that is eco-friendly, sustainable, and kind to the planet. We particularly love the sheer elegance of a Banarasi silk outfit. If you would like to embrace the beauty of handlooms, Banarasi silk in particular, we have put together for you the most stunning Banarasi silk outfits to invest in this wedding season.

When people think of Banarasi silk garments, or handloom garments in general, they usually think traditional, classic, and understated. But handloom garments can be really cool too. Exhibit A: this Raw Mango kurta! We absolutely love the green colour and the motifs on the kurta. Our favourite thing about it though? The contrasting lining in Rani pink!

Just to reiterate that handloom garments can be really fun, presenting Exhibit B: this Ekaya Banaras saree with zebra print. This saree is super elegant and beautiful, but somehow also has cool written all over it! We approve!
