Katan is the pure silk of Banaras: silk threads twisted together into a strong, lustrous yarn that can carry dense zari brocade. A Katan Banarasi drapes with weight and holds its sheen for generations, which is why it is so often the saree a family keeps.
Every Katan Banarasi in our last edit has found a home. New Katan weaves arrive from the looms in small numbers; book a video call and our Bangalore store will tell you what is on the loom, or browse pure Banarasi silk sarees and the full Banarasi edit today.
Questions before you choose
What is the difference between Katan and other Banarasi sarees?
Katan describes the yarn: pure twisted silk in both warp and weft. Organza, georgette and kora Banarasis use different, lighter yarns.
Can I reserve an upcoming Katan saree?
Ask on a video call. We will share what is being woven and how long it will take.
