Benarasi Brocade Slipcover

Our Benarasi brocade fabric is from Benaras itself – one of the six districts of Uttar Pradesh where this brocade technique is found (and nowhere else in the world!). Since Mughal rule, when silks, brocaded textiles, and other luxurious fabrics were in high demand, and when trade and exchange with Central Asia flourished, Benarasi brocade has been established as a design aesthetic and weaving technique specific and exclusive to the master craftsmen and weavers of Benaras.
