Black Banarasi Handloom Silk Fabric with Copper Zari Finish (Per Metre)
Pickup available at Chapel Road Fateh Maidan Abids
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Black silk with copper zari is as close to a guarantee as this trade offers. It suits every occasion, flatters everyone, and never looks like it is trying.
Banarasi handloom silk with the designer weave carried over the whole fabric. Against a black ground, copper zari reads as warm light rather than metal — the pattern emerges as you move instead of announcing itself from the doorway.
Wears beautifully as: an evening kurta, a tailored jacket, or a blouse that will work with half your wardrobe.
How much to order: 2.5 metres for a kurta, 3 metres with full sleeves, 2 metres for a blouse and dupatta.
Care: dry clean only. Store folded in cotton cloth, away from direct light.
From Sri Manisha Sarees, Abids, Hyderabad. Black is the hardest colour to photograph — ask for a video call and we will show you the zari properly.
