This Black Chanderi Silk saree is handloom woven, offering a lightweight and sheer texture characteristic of Chanderi fabrics. The body of the saree features an all-over antique zari woven buti pattern depicting spade shapes, which is further detailed with Meenakari thread work. The edges are defined by an antique zari woven border, leading to a coordinating antique zari woven pallu. The saree is accompanied by a matching unstitched Chanderi silk blouse piece.

2. Craft Vocabulary
Every listing names the exact weave technique — kadhwa, rangkat, meenakari, jamdani, tanchoi. A buyer who understands what they own, values it differently. We don't just sell you a saree. We want you to know it.
3. Women-Led
The Banarasi trade has historically been run by men. Chinaya Banaras was founded and led by Namrata Agrawal — a woman who wears these sarees. Built with a buyer's instinct, not a trader's margin. That difference shows.
4. Generational Craft
For 48 years, we've worked with the same Banarasi weaving families — watching their children learn the loom. That continuity keeps the craft consistent in ways no new brand can replicate quickly.
5. Customisation & Stitching
From fabric to finished garment, everything happens under our roof. Our in-house tailors stitch to your exact measurements. On select designs, colour customisation is available — worked directly through our manufacturing unit.
