This beautiful outfit was created using a 65 year old vintage Banarasi patola (Brocade) Saree made using silver threads and a gold electroplating on khadi silk. It is paired with a sequins sheet holographic bustier to reflect the nine colours of ikat weave that the brocade is set in.
It took Amit and his team around 6 months to create this masterpiece Saree with the vintage textile handwoven in the craft clusters of Varanasi. Thank you for your genius Amit and your gifted team.
