Shanti Banaras über die hauseigene Kollektion : “The Shanti Banaras company brand collection : Inspired by the twist and twirls of floral patterns found in nature, the gleam of a gold & silver finish radiates an ambience through this treasured royal blue saree. On Supriya, defying the art of Jamdani that is always made in solid clear-cut blocks – is this intricately woven, real gold & silver Zari ‘Garden of Flower’ saree. The motifs are intertwined to provide shades of Zari as if hand-painted with gold and silver, quite different from the traditional concept of a Jamdani. A ‘Garden of Flowers’ concept is precisely detailed to every single dot of a motif. Very rarely woven and just as rarely designed.”
Was die Saris so besonders macht? “Authentic Zari weaving craftsmanship is exposed only to a handful of people with Banaras as its origin. Our sarees are made with 98.5 percent silver and plated with 24k gold to retain the authenticity of the classic weave, enabling them to be passed on through the next generations as a keepsake of heritage. The art of weaving takes months to birth a saree and is often a mix of numerous weaving techniques, practiced for generations by our master craftsmen. Our textiles are the result of an ardent effort to revive the best of traditions and express what lies in our heart & soul – the heritage of Banaras.”
