Shawl/Dupatta, Traditional Banarasi, Rust and Gold

This shawl is stunning in rich rust and gold, with gold threads running through and fringe on each end. It measures 60 inches long and 22 inches wide. Pre-owned, it is in excellent condition. Banarasi refers to a type of fabric, particularly a silk fabric, renowned for its intricate brocade weaving and opulent designs, originating from the city of Varanasi (also known as Banaras) in India. These dupattas are highly valued for their luxurious look and feel, featuring gold and silver zari (metallic threads) and rich colors. They are a symbol of Indian heritage and tradition, often worn during weddings and other special occasions. If you are headed to a dinner party, pair a dupatta with a sophisticated kurti and a simple bottom to look your best self. For those who are into a bohemian look, wearing the shawlas a shrug with the use of a belt, or as a top over a long skirt, is a great option. Dry clean only.
