Ivory Crushed Tissue Silver Zari Banarasi Saree
Crushed Tissue Silk · All-Over Silver Zari Stripes · No Border · Crushed Pallu & Blouse · Blouse Included
A soft, contemporary Banarasi saree in ivory crushed tissue silk, woven all over with fine silver zari stripes that catch the light. The whole drape has a delicate crushed, crinkled texture — the pallu and matching blouse carry the same crushed finish — and there is no border, just a fine gold selvedge running the length, for a clean, modern look. Effortless and understated. Blouse included.

Crushed tissue is made by deliberately crumpling the woven silk-and-zari fabric so it holds a permanent fine crinkle, giving it movement and a soft sheen quite unlike a flat tissue. Leaving the saree borderless is a modern departure from classic Banarasi, letting the crushed silver-zari texture be the whole statement.
