An art form that traces its roots back to the Mughal dynasty, a weaving tradition that started in the 14th century, an embroidery style that has established its own legacy - Banarasi weaves, silks, and brocade styles are the epitome of Indian handlooms. Pernia’s pays homage to the Banarsi handlooms and embroidery through the latest range of the Banarsi Collection.

Using premium materials sourced from the rolling hills of Southern India and lovingly crafted with hand on the banks of the ancient city of Varanasi, Banarasi garments have four main varieties - Katan made with pure silk, Kora made with organza, georgette, and shattir. The brocade garments are embroidered with delicate silver and golden threads in a style known as ‘Zari’ work. The rich and extravagant embellishments of Banarasi garments, especially sarees, make them one of the finest weaves in the Indian fashion industry. They are a symbol of prosperity, sophistication, and ultimate grace. Which is why Banarasi garments are the preferred fashion choice by many women for religious festivities ranging from Diwali to Durga Puja and the perfect additions to their Bridal Trousseau.

 

The Banarasi Collection: Paying homage to the rich heritage of Benares

Banarasi weaving a true feat of patience and craftsmanship. With three designers working on it, a standard Banarasi Saree can take from 15 days to a month and sometimes up to six months to create and uses nearly 5600 thread wires to craft its intricate brocade and zari patterns. Traditional Banarsi patterns and motifs find their inspirations from nature and are broadly divided into seven categories - Jangla, Tanchoi, Tissue, Butidar, Cutwork, and Jamdani.

Jangla is a luxurious, heavily embroidered style featuring floral designs done in colourful silk threads. Tanchoi is woven with weft silk threads criss-crossing to form gorgeous kaleidoscopic patterns. Tissue Banarasi garments are woven with golden threads to give a shiny, light fabric. The Butidar style features a signature dark blue fabric woven with silver and gold threads, the juxtaposition of which is locally called the Ganga Jamuna design. The Cutwork technique removes floating threads on a plain texture, creating a light, breathable, and transparent look. Leaves, jasmine, creepers, and marigold flowers are popular motifs in this style. Jamdani uses figured muslin and silk fabrics brocaded with the cotton.
