While Banarasi textiles are an integral part of Indian bridal trousseau, especially their handloom sarees and shawls, a woman may include something of that make in her everyday wardrobe. As such, the dupatta you see on this page would be a key addition to your wardrobe. It is a fine example of the famous Banarasi brocade-work and comes in irresistibly cheerful colours, such that coupling this with an outfit of any and every colour would make for a traditional and fashionable statement.

Zoom in on the silken field of the dupatta to appreciate the handiwork. Columns of the typical floral silhouette contained within an endless length of vine, on a foundation colour of gorgeous golden yellow or wheaty ivory. The embroidery has been done with gold zari (endemic threadwork), which would make any ensemble you add this to a recognisably Banarasi one. Team this thick-bordered and taselled dupatta with a solid coloured salwar-kameez, and get conversations starting.
