Our Story

Preeti means love

And love is how every Banarasiya Preeti silk leaves our hands.

A master weaver working on a traditional handloom in Varanasi

Banarasiya Preeti was born in a narrow gully of Varanasi, where the rhythm of the handloom sounds like a heartbeat. We grew up watching our weavers create magic in silk and zari, and watching them be paid in pennies.

So we built something different. A women-led atelier where the karigar is paid first, the customer sees everything (yes, on video), and a little luck arrives in the post every month.

What we promise

  • ✦ Fair pay to weavers, always on time.
  • ✦ Hand-picked, one-on-one over a video call before you commit.
  • ✦ A women-driven team, end to end.
  • ✦ Lucky draws for every order. Because joy is woven in.
