As luxurious as it seems, the art of brocade has transcended from the age old era of opulence and royalty. Conceptualized as a naksha (design) on paper first, the nakshabandha (designer) translates the design on Banarasi silk weaves, using fine gauze or gold or silver threads with immaculate precision into patterns that range from artistic elaboration to minimalistic intricacy. Romance with royalty in your outfit daily.
