Chanderi sarees feature the namesake lightweight luxurious fabric handwoven using a centuries’ old weaving technique that intertwines silk and zari with cotton yarn. The not-so-obvious sheerness, the shimmery texture resulting from the silk and cotton interlacing, and the vivid colours earn its position on your shelf as a timeless classic.
This beautiful silk saree originates from a remote region in Madhya Pradesh that has witnessed the development of this type of weaving peak during the Mughal era. A pure chanderi silk saree’s price depends on the zari used at the border and motifs. The more the zari it features, the higher the cost of the saree gets.
Types of Chanderi Sarees
Chanderi sarees are available on Benissimo in beautiful colours, designs and elegant motifs in varying silk weaving techniques. Two of these types are as follows:
Cotton Silk
A simple cotton saree, though plain to look at, looks lovely when draped. So, one can only imagine what a dash of silk wrapped around each yarn in a chanderi silk cotton saree would do. The class and sophistication increases multifold and is hence used recurrently by celebrities in movies, shows, red carpet events, and so on.
Kora Silk
A kora saree spun in the Chanderi saree style offers the best of both worlds - the feather-like weight and the silk sheen derived from the thinly spun silk fibre. The unparalleled resplendence of this style is the reason it finds itself under the care of several noteworthy designers who bring their own magic to these sarees.
