Frequently Asked Questions

What is katan silk?
Katan silk is a pure silk fabric in which both the warp and weft threads are made of twisted silk yarn. It is the traditional base fabric for the finest Banarasi sarees — known for its smooth texture, natural lustre, and excellent drape. Katan silk sarees are heavier and more structured than soft silk or organza varieties.

What does "all-over zari brocade" mean?
All-over zari brocade means the metallic zari thread is woven across the entire body of the saree — not just the border or pallu — creating a continuous, shimmering pattern throughout the fabric.

Does Opaline come with a blouse piece?
Yes, Opaline includes a matching blouse piece woven in the same katan silk fabric. Note: the blouse worn by the model in product images may differ from the included blouse piece.

How should I care for a Banarasi katan silk saree?
Dry clean only. Store in a soft muslin cloth away from direct sunlight. Do not iron the zari work directly — use a pressing cloth if needed.

A Note on Handwoven Craftsmanship

This saree is handwoven in Varanasi. Slight variations or irregularities in the weave and design are natural characteristics that add to its uniqueness — not defects.
