Crimson Red Pure Khaddi Georgette Banarasi Handwoven Saree
"Hume to yaad bahut aaya mausam-e-gul mein
Wo surkh phoolon sa chehra khila hua ab ke“
- Margub Ali
She loved all things red, red bangles, her sister’s red lehenga, the red saree her motherwore for her wedding, her daadi’s red jhumkas, papa’s red tie. All her growing up years, she wove stories of festivals, weddings, love, passion and understated authority around red. And when it came to celebrating her own love story - it had to be a red Benarasi. Nothing was more exquisite, striking and filled with love like a classic crimson red.
You can never go wrong with this gorgeous Crimson Red Benarasi. Put on a red bindi, handful of gajra and just like that, you’re ready.

Heritage and Origin
The enduring Kadwa weave is an elaborate and laborious technique that involves hand-weaving each motif separately. This intricate work derives its name from Kadha hua, meaning embroidered. The fabric so created is a result of meticulous handweaving that takes longer time on the handloom, but makes a more robust pattern, which stands out on the fabric.
The painstaking Kadwa technique is used to incorporate motifs of a variety of shapes and sizes, which is not found in any other Benarasi technique such as Phekwa or Cutwork. In such sarees, there are no loose threads at the back of the fabric and hence, no cutting is required. Kadhua produces beautiful sarees which are a labour of love, attention to detail and the timelessness of the holy city of Benaras.
