Frostborn is a study in winter minimalism. Woven in Kadhua, its disciplined zari linework borders evoke majestic mountains. Bluebirds, captured mid-flight in meenakari, bring a subtle burst of colour, animating the still landscape. The textured terrains and delicate birds lend movement to the plain-bodied canvas, creating a quiet harmony between the vastness of the space and the fragile creatures that inhabit it.

Colour: Cream Beige
-
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.

Since this product is handwoven, there might be slight irregularities. But don't you think these add to the singular charm of a handloom beauty?
