Banarasi Mashru Silk Saree – Navy Blue

Is this a pure silk Banarasi saree?

No. This navy blue Banarasi Mashru silk saree is woven in Mashru – a silk-cotton weave with silk on the outer face and cotton on the inner side. It looks like silk from the outside while staying breathable to wear.

How is Mashru silk different from pure silk?

Mashru is a traditional silk-cotton weave: silk threads form the lustrous outer face and cotton forms the inner side that touches the skin. It gives the rich look of silk with the comfort of cotton.

How is this saree woven?

It is power-loom woven in Varanasi, with the zari motifs woven into the body and pallu.

How long is this saree?

The saree is 5.5 m long, and a 0.8 m unstitched blouse piece is included.

How heavy is this saree?

The navy blue Banarasi Mashru silk saree weighs approx. 800 g.

Which occasions is this saree suitable for?

It suits receptions, award functions, formal events and office celebrations as well as weddings – navy reads elegant rather than loud.

How can I style this navy blue saree?

Navy pairs beautifully with a red or gold blouse. Keep jewellery minimal with pearls or a single gold chain for formal events, or go fuller with antique gold for weddings.

How should I care for this saree?

Dry clean only. Store folded in a muslin or cotton cloth, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and refold every few months. Do not iron directly on the zari.
