Fabric: Pure Katan Silk
Weave/Technique: Handloom Rangkat
Saree Includes: Saree with matching blouse piece
The Katan Silk Handloom Vara Rangkat Saree is a soft yet striking expression of colour-play, woven meticulously on pure Katan silk using the traditional Rangkat technique. As reflected in the image, the saree features a harmonious grid of pastel hues, gentle pinks, lavenders, peaches, and powder blues; each shade seamlessly transitioning into the next.
The rangkat weave creates a distinctive patchwork effect, where individually dyed warp sections come together on the loom, forming fluid, wave-like checks that feel both rhythmic and refined. The understated borders frame the composition gracefully, allowing the colours to take centre stage while maintaining a balanced, elegant look. The natural sheen and smooth texture of Katan silk lend the saree a graceful fall and a quiet luminosity.
Speciality:
This saree stands out for its Rangkat weaving on Katan silk, a technique that requires precision and careful planning at every stage. Each colour block is thoughtfully aligned, resulting in a design that feels organic, fluid, and visually soothing. The Vara Rangkat Saree is a testament to the skill of Banarasi handloom artisans and the beauty of controlled colour storytelling.
Styling Note:
Ideal for daytime festivities, intimate celebrations, or refined evening gatherings, this saree pairs beautifully with minimal jewellery and soft-toned accessories. A versatile piece that balances tradition with a contemporary pastel palette, making it an effortless addition to a modern ethnic wardrobe.
