Katan silk, woven from a tightly twisted single-ply thread, produces a saree with a firm, graceful drape, a restrained natural lustre, and motifs that speak directly to Bengal's artistic heritage. A matching blouse piece is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Craft\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoven entirely by hand on pit looms, each saree takes skilled artisans several days to complete. The \u003cem\u003epallu\u003c\/em\u003e (the decorative end panel that falls over the shoulder) and borders carry \u003cem\u003ebutis\u003c\/em\u003e — small, repeating woven motifs — inspired by Bishnupur's Bankura horses, floral scrollwork, and classical Bengal temple iconography. The weave density and motif placement vary subtly between pieces, making each saree one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFabric \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePure katan silk is known for its body and structure.
