Reemli: Lightweight Kadhuwa Benarasi
By Naushad Ji
Saree Story
I am Reemli, somewhere between the ethereal blue of the sky and the river that never quite settles. I hold the calm and the joyous, with equanimity. My blue holds still and open, gold buttis scattered like the first drops before a monsoon decides anything. I don't run in straight lines, my border curves in soft scallops, one wave folding into the next, the way water does as it folds through unknown lands. I was never meant to be still, always moving forward, sometimes a torrent, sometimes unhurried and at peace.
Handloom Perfection
Handloom sarees are made by human hands, not machines. Which means every piece carries the natural variations of the loom and the weaver, proof that someone, somewhere, made this just for you.
Description
Reemli is a katan silk Banarasi in vivid peacock teal, her body scattered with gold floral butis and finished along the hem with a distinctive scalloped border of gold vine and flower work. The pallu shifts into a dense fan-shaped lattice bordered by a running floral vine on either side, while a slim trail of small gold buttis runs along the inner edge for a lighter, rippling finish.

Care Instructions
Silk rewards patience. Dry clean for the first wash. After that, cold water and a gentle hand. Never wring it, never rush it. Dry in the shade — silk and sunlight are not friends. Iron on the reverse, low heat, while it is still slightly damp.
