Banarasi Borders

Banarasi Borders — Heritage Woven Borders from Varanasi's Master Weavers

A Banarasi border is the most culturally prestigious and most visually opulent border trim you can add to a saree, dupatta, or garment — a wider woven strip of pure silk and gold or silver zari that carries the full grandeur of Varanasi's extraordinary 500-year weaving tradition. Unlike narrow laces, Banarasi borders are wider and more substantial — designed to be attached to the edges of plain or printed sarees to transform them into something that carries the authentic heritage of Varanasi's handloom craft. The same intricate brocade motifs — the lotus, the mango, the peacock, the vine — that appear in the great Banarasi sarees appear in miniature in these borders, woven with the same precision and the same real zari that makes Banarasi textiles the most precious in India. At Luxurion World, our Banarasi borders are woven by the master weavers of Varanasi, paying above-fair compensation to preserve this extraordinary UNESCO-celebrated tradition.
