The Kolkata label has gorgeous Kadhua and Ektara Banarasis which are ideal for festive dressing. Tuhina Das recently wore a sleek black and metallic Ektara Banarasi for an event.

The Ektara Banarasi's single taar craftsmanship involves an age-old technique of using a multi-warp heddle shaft. The base fabric is usually very light and breathable so you can wear something like this for daywear as well. Tuhina pairs her Banarasi with a traditional pearl and gold choker.
