Handwoven Red Banarasi Butta Silk Fabric

This Red Banarasi Butta Fabric carries the quiet grandeur of Varanasi’s looms, where every thread is woven with patience, memory, and artistry. In the narrow lanes along the Ganga, master weavers have practiced this craft for generations, and this fabric reflects that living heritage.

The rich red base is inspired by bridal vermillion, temple flags, and festive rituals of India. Across the fabric, small butta motifs bloom like scattered jewels—each woven in fine zari that catches light gently without being overpowering. Unlike heavy brocades, this butta design feels elegant, breathable, and wearable, making it timeless rather than trendy.

Woven from premium handwoven Banarasi silk, the fabric has a soft sheen, smooth drape, and a comfortable weight that feels luxurious to the touch. The making process is slow and meticulous—artisans set up the loom, design the motifs, and weave inch by inch, often taking days to complete a single length. This careful process ensures depth, texture, and durability.

This fabric is beautifully versatile. It works wonderfully for Banarasi sarees, lehengas, dupattas, blouses, sherwanis, kurta panels, or even elegant cushion covers and table runners for heritage-inspired interiors. Designers love its balance between tradition and modern minimalism.

True to Charkha Tales’ commitment to slow fashion, this fabric supports artisan livelihoods and preserves handloom traditions. Every piece reduces dependence on mass production and keeps India’s weaving legacy alive.
