Its the wedding Season and in the contemplation of what to wear one word that is always top of the mind is the ethereal Banaras. This Sari is the very definition of Indian exemplary craftsmanship. One look at a Banaras and you are sure to have fallen in love. The complex weaves and variety of colors makes it one of the most sought after Saris in the Indian diaspora.
When something is so perfect it becomes very difficult to make it better but Sagrika Rai has been able to do just that. She has been celebrated as one of the top ten women in India who has revolutionized the Banaras story in this country, bringing it into the twentieth century with contemporary fabrics and designs yet retaining the sanctity of the weave.
What I loved about this Sari is the kite motif, it is so unique in nature and yet blends into the sari so beautifully the combination of pink and Orange is a classic. If you are a bride from the South and want your sari to be subtly different than this Sari is perfect for you. It has got the look of a Kanjivaram yet it is very light to carry and the color combination of pink and Orange is traditional with a hint of contemporary.
This next Sari I just chanced upon. One could say that this was a destined find. It was an absolute privilege to have been able to hold this Sari and gaze upon its awesomeness. If Selling my soul was an option I would have probably till now, to be a owner of this amazing creation. The tone of green matched with the perfect orange and of course the dancing couple weaved with such precision and beauty.
Warp n ' Weft is a secret that has been kept my many for many years not wanting to share it with one and all. Their treasures are so rare and beautiful that everybody wants to keep it to themselves but if we at Sarinstyle have thrown the doors of the vault open so that you can have that sublime Banaras Sari.
Next we shall bring you some more of her
