THE PURPLE POSSE
I don't care what anybody else says, but color always plays a hugely significant role whenever you have to decide between ethnic attires. While new color palettes have taken over the market, alluring the new customers, we all know that mature shade of purple are here to stay! Tones of lilac, mauve and royal purple catch the attention of the admirers in just one sight. Our company, WeaverStory , brings to you a majestic and enchanting collection of hand loomed Banarasi Silk Lehengas, curated by the native artisans of the holy city with extreme diligence and intricacy. The new silhouettes of pink and purple are here to steal your hearts with their innovative brocade patterns of zari interlacing.
Embellished with dense gold motifs and clusters of pure booti work, the patterns on the Lehengas pay a tribute to the triumphant history of Indian heritage and the Mughlai architecture. The shades of gold zari pair smoothly well with the richness of pink and purple, setting a hypnotizing contrast of complementary tones. The Handloom Purple Pure Katan Silk Banarasi Lehenga with Heavy Zardozi Dupatta and Purple Blouse is bedazzled with an impenetrable brocade border and the lavish purple of the ensemble exude luxurious "your highness" vibes.
REMINISCENT RED
There are some things in life that you can never forget, like your first day of school, or your first kiss and the first time you held hands with your beloved sweetheart! So how can you forget the tradition of wearing red on your wedding day? That's right. Since the beginning of civilization, red has been the color of purity and chastity; it symbolizes the bond of marriage and love in just a few yards of fabric. While the customary red radiates a vintage aura, new hues of blood red, such as crimson, mahogany and carmine, add to the ingenuity of the ethnic ensemble, transforming itself into the color of boldness, seduction and sensuality.
WeaverStory's Deep Red Handloom Banarasi Lehenga with Meenakari is a monochromatic blast of colors, perfectly going along with the heavy and meticulous zari brocade interlacing and a dense gold border. Ornamented with golden motifs, this Banarasi Silk Lehenga is hand woven with a generous amount of love and devotion for our bride to be and has a femme fatale appeal to its modest display of uniformity.
