Banarasi Dupattas; Shop the Latest Collection at Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop

Our latest collection of Banarasi Dupattas showcases the immense complexity and beauty of the banarasi brocade tradition. Banarasi silks and brocades are a technical achievement and a true piece of art. They have graced many runway shows, fashion exhibitions, and art galleries around the country and the world. Now, they can just as easily be a part of your personal wardrobe.

The present day Banarasi brocade traces its roots back to the Mughal empire era when premium silks were introduced to the weavers of Benares, who developed their signature practices and imbued the silks with finely detailed designs of flowers, birds, animals, human figures, geometric motifs and even the Persian and Nagari scripts. Banarasi brocades, though traditionally made with pure silk, have now expanded to include four main varieties - Katan made with pure silk, Kora made with organza, georgette, and shattir. The brocades are then embroidered with delicate silver and golden threads in a style known as ‘Zari’ work.

Indian women’s wear holds a wealth of potential because of the range of embroidery, styles, and fabrics that designers can employ. Explore the incredible work of the top fashion labels in Indian couture wear with our collections of Sunira, Kalista, Twinkle Hanspal, and more at Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop.
