BROCADES - GOLDEN ARTISTRY 
With its bold and sheer opulence, the Banarasi Brocade through history has been a textile favoured by royalty across cultures through the silk route. An additional set of weft or bana threads that are typically made of gold zari are hand woven on traditional looms into the fabric to create magical patterns. During the Mughal period, the making of brocades often involved an intimate relationship with one’s couturier, from thread to garment.
