Behind this piece
Banaras has spent centuries perfecting the language of the loom, and this mask speaks that language fluently. Woven in art silk on Banarasi handlooms, it carries the Ashtamangala, the eight auspicious Buddhist and Hindu symbols that have graced temple walls, royal textiles, and ceremonial silks across the subcontinent for millennia. The motifs appear here not as decoration but as intention, each symbol positioned with the deliberateness that Banarasi weavers bring to every repeat. Four colourways, each one drawn from a palette that feels entirely at home against Indian skin tones.
How to style
Wear the Fuchsia Fedora mask with a blush chanderi kurta and polki studs for a festive afternoon gathering. The Golden Poppy colourway complements a deep ivory or cream silk saree beautifully, particularly for a wedding reception where restraint is its own elegance. Purple Opulence pairs with a violet or aubergine anarkali and oxidised silver jhumkas, grounding the richness without overpowering it. The Leaf Green reads especially well against tussar or raw silk in earthy tones. In each case, let the mask's weave do the talking and keep the rest of the look considered.
Fabric & care
Art silk is a woven cellulosic or synthetic fibre that rewards gentleness. Hand wash in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, working the fabric softly without wringing or twisting. Rinse thoroughly and press out excess water between two clean towels. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which can shift the colour over time. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth placed between the iron and the fabric surface. Store folded loosely in a muslin or cotton pouch, separate from heavily perfumed items, to preserve both the weave and the vibrancy of the colour.
