One of a kind piece inspired by the quiet luminosity of Banarasi textiles, the Noor Set reimagines heritage craftsmanship through a refined, modern co-ord silhouette. Crafted from a vintage Banarasi sari handwoven in Varanasi, this fabric is created on traditional looms through an intricate process that can take up to six months to complete. Each motif is formed slowly, thread by thread, resulting in the dense weave, subtle structure, and signature shimmer that Banarasi textiles are celebrated for-traditionally reserved for ceremonial and heirloom garments.

The set features a short, structured jacket that highlights the richness and sculptural quality of the silk, paired with fluid, elasticated pants designed for comfort and ease. Named Noor, meaning light in Arabic, the co-ord reflects the gentle glow woven into every thread-timeless, considered, and effortlessly wearable.

Size: Large (UK 14–16 / EU 42–44)

Fabric: A richly woven sari fabric in deep berry and soft lilac tones, layered with intricate gold motifs and ornate borders. Dense and lustrous, it holds structure while catching the light - opulent, tactile, and unmistakably ceremonial.

Styling Tip: Wear together as a statement co-ord, or style the jacket with simple black trousers and the pants with a minimal top to let the Banarasi weave take centre stage.

Wash Care: Cold hand wash recommended to preserve the fabric’s delicate weave, structure, and natural sheen.
