Handwoven Banana Pith Silk Saree- Lavender and Teal

Handloom Vazhai pattu (Banana pith) Sarees. Saree length 5.3 meter (approx). Without running blouse

Banana fibre sarees are not only organic and biodegradable, but they also give an exotic, rich look and are completely cruelty-free!

About 500 grams of fibre is required to create one saree and each banana stem would provide about 150 grams of fibre. While banana stems are available in plenty, the manual extraction of fibres from the stems is labour intensive and time consuming. In the South of India, this is available in abundance. The tree stems used in the making of Banana fibre would otherwise be wasted and thrown away as agricultural dump. So not only does this make a great product, but also plays a role in saving the environment.
