Willow embodies the quiet expanses where snow-draped peaks meet shifting skies. In fine Kadhua weave, the canvas unfolds delicate floral zari bootis, envisioned as soft, drifting snowfall. Northern Red Cardinals perch on willow branches at the koniya, their vivid red offering a striking contrast to the muted winter palette. The border traces a gentle choreography of slender branches and tiny blooms, extending the saree’s serene winter narrative.

Fabric: Pure silk in the warp and Pashmina wool in the weft

Technique:An enduring Kadwa weave and Meenakari. The elaborate and laborious Kadwa (Kadhua) technique involves hand-weaving each motif separately. It takes longer on the handloom, but it makes a more robust pattern that stands out on the fabric. Meenakari involves the painstaking addition of supplementary coloured resham threads during the hand-weaving process.

Speciality: This fabric has been handwoven in the twill weave to achieve a supple drape; even in its texture, strength, and insulation. A singular creation that reimagines traditional Banarasi weaves.
- Collection Note: Tilfi’s Silk Wool collection extends Banarasi into new material terrain, evoking the hush of frost-kissed branches, the flight of birds across open skies, and the gentle geometry of snow-laden landscapes. Woven with the finest Pashmina yarn and pure silk, the textile finds a poised balance between softness and structure. Through meticulous Kadhua craftsmanship, the collection becomes a study in muted winter minimalism, where tradition evolves by deliberate design. Composed in subtle contrasts, its narrative is defined as much by absence and stillness as by abundance and vibrancy.
- The saree comes with its own blouse piece. The model is wearing a separate blouse for styling purposes.
