Till the flirtatious brocades of Banaras caught on with the surrounding regions, the Baluchari was the signature wedding saree of the Bengali community. The one you see on this page has been handpicked from the looms of Baluchar and bears the hallmark of the region’s best. Pure silk make, a vivid dominant colour reminiscent of wedding cheer, and a one-of-a-kind endpiece. Indeed, these are very different from mass-produced Indian sarees - each Baluchari tells a distinct story.

When you drape a Baluchari from our collection, you step out wearing a piece of itihasa. The border and endpiece of this saree are embroidered with scenes from the Mahabharata, arranged in templedoor-shaped panels. Luxuriant gold thread interspersed with black looks practically regal against the deep, fermented pink of the base colour. The field is superimposed with a coat of tiny paisleys; in fact, the style of booties on this number makes it a great one to wear to a wedding or a traditional evening do.

The soft drape of the pure silk, combined with the weight of the intricate weaving, creates a silhouette that is both elegant and regal. This is a sari designed to be cherished, to be passed down through generations, carrying with it the stories of its origin and the artistry of its creation.
