Understanding the Pricing of Banarasi Suits: What Are You Really Paying For?
Banarasi suits are celebrated for their elegance, tradition, and intricate craftsmanship. But if you’ve ever wondered why their prices vary so widely—from affordable cotton sets to high-end pure silk ensembles—this guide will help you understand what goes into the pricing of a Banarasi suit.
1. Fabric Quality
The type of fabric used plays a major role in pricing.
• Cotton Banarasi suits are typically more affordable, ideal for everyday wear or summer occasions.
• Silk Banarasi suits, especially those made with pure Katan silk, are more expensive due to the premium raw material.
• Blended fabrics (like silk-cotton or georgette) fall somewhere in between, offering style and comfort at moderate prices.
2. Weaving Technique
A major price determinant is whether the suit is handwoven or machine-made.
• Handloom Banarasi suits involve weeks of work by skilled artisans, making each piece unique and thus more costly.
• Power loom or machine-woven suits are mass-produced and usually more budget-friendly, though they lack the exclusivity of handwoven art.
3. Design Complexity
More intricate designs—like zari work, Resham Mina detailing, or heavy jaal patterns—require additional time, labor, and materials. Naturally, these designs come at a higher price point compared to simpler, minimalistic patterns.
4. Dupatta and Bottom Quality
A richly woven Banarasi dupatta or a heavily embroidered bottom fabric can increase the overall price of a suit set. At Humairah, we ensure that even our affordable sets come with well-finished, matching components for a complete look.
5. Brand and Authenticity
When you buy from a trusted brand like Humairah, you’re also paying for authenticity, quality assurance, and ethical sourcing. We work directly with weavers in Varanasi and offer fair pricing—especially on bulk and wholesale orders.
