This one-of-a-kind set is crafted from a reclaimed Banarasi sari, celebrating the centuries-old weaving tradition of Varanasi, India. Banarasi textiles are renowned for their intricate woven motifs, ornate borders, and lustrous finish, traditionally created using fine brocade and metallic zari threads. The original sari’s paisley motifs and richly patterned panels have been carefully positioned across the garment, preserving the character and artistry of the textile.
The set features a short, softly structured wrap-style jacket with wide sleeves and an intricately woven statement panel across the back, paired with fluid, wide-leg pants. A coordinating sash defines the waist, while the original sari borders are retained along the jacket and trouser hems. Rich teal is layered with antique gold, soft rose, and intricate paisley detailing, creating a silhouette that feels opulent yet effortlessly wearable.
Size: Large: UK 14–16 / EU 42–44
Fabric: Reclaimed Banarasi textile in rich teal, woven with delicate gold motifs and ornate paisley detailing in antique gold, rose, and muted jewel tones. Lustrous and fluid, the fabric catches the light beautifully while showcasing the intricacy characteristic of Banarasi weaving.
Styling Tip: Wear together as a statement co-ord, cinching the jacket with the matching sash for a defined silhouette. Style separately by pairing the jacket with simple tailored trousers or a slip dress, while the wide-leg pants work beautifully with a minimal blouse or fitted top to let the Banarasi weave take centre stage.
Wash Care: Gentle cold hand wash or dry clean recommended to preserve the textile’s colour, woven detailing, and structure.
