Gulabi Placemat

Rani pink, woven in Banaras.

Banarasi silk comes from Varanasi, one of India's oldest cities and a centre of handloom weaving for centuries. It is known for its fine weave, rich texture and luminous finish, qualities that have made it a fabric of weddings and celebrations across India. Gulabi, from gulab, the Hindi word for rose, is dressed in rani pink, the vivid "queen's pink" that has long been one of India's most beloved colours. Bold and joyful, it brings instant warmth to any table.
