Are Woh Chali sarees genuinely handwoven?
Yes, every single one. We work directly with artisan weavers in the regions where these traditions originate — Madhya Pradesh for our Banana Silk collection and Benaras for our pure katan silk Banarasi sarees. Handwoven means a person sat at a loom and made it, and that is exactly what happened.

What is banana silk and why is it special?
Banana silk is a natural fabric derived from the fibres of the banana plant. It combines the soft sheen of silk with the breathability of cotton, making it lightweight, lustrous, and completely plant-based. It is also biodegradable — which means it is as kind to the earth as it is to your skin. Our banana silk sarees are woven by artisans in Madhya Pradesh and printed using authentic Bagh block-printing techniques with natural dyes.

What is Bagh printing and is it used on all Banana Silk sarees?
Bagh printing is a centuries-old block-printing craft from the Bagh region of Madhya Pradesh, where hand-carved wooden blocks, natural mineral dyes, and river water are used to create intricate, repeated patterns on fabric. Yes, our Banana Silk collection uses authentic Bagh printing — no digital prints, no synthetic dyes.

What makes your Banarasi sarees different from what I find elsewhere?
Our Banarasi sarees are pure katan silk — not blended, not semi-silk, not power-loom. They are handwoven by weaving families in Benaras who have practiced this craft for generations. We source directly from these weavers, which means no middlemen, no quality compromise, and no inflated retail pricing.

Do your sarees come with a blouse piece?
Yes, our sarees come with a running blouse piece unless otherwise specified on the product page.
