The craft
Varanasi Brocade — how this piece is made
Banarasi brocade is among the most labour-intensive weaves in India — each buti is controlled by the jacquard mechanism on the loom.
The region
Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
The artisan
Woven on a family loom in the Madanpura district; three weeks on the loom for a single sari.
Care
Dry clean only. Store rolled, never folded sharply over brocade motifs.
