Who We Are
We are Bunkaari of Banaras, born not as a trend but as a responsibility. Our artisans are the custodians of a centuries-old handloom tradition, where silk and zari are transformed into fabric that once adorned India’s royals and noble families. Today, with reverence and innovation, we bring these treasures to a discerning world.

Our Philosophy
We believe that every Banarasi weave tells a story. It tells of the Mughal courts where Persian-inspired motifs blossomed into Indian artistry. It tells of the ghats of Kashi, where the sacred river reflects resilience—woven into every motif of mango, lotus, and florals. It tells of countless patient hours spent by hands that turn thread into tapestry.
At Bunkaari, our mission is twofold:
- To preserve the integrity of Banarasi weaving by supporting our artisans.
- To reinterpret this heritage for the woman of today, who values both authenticity and elegance.
Our Promise
Every Bunkaari creation is:
- Handwoven in Banaras by artisans who have inherited this craft.
- Ethically Crafted, sustaining and empowering weaver families.
- Designed for Modern Elegance, ensuring the Banarasi tradition never stays confined to glass cases but lives proudly in your wardrobe.
