Katan refers to pure silk yarn made from twisted mulberry silk threads, the traditional base fabric for authentic Banarasi weaving, prized for its natural sheen, drape, and durability. This is what buyers marketing genuine heritage bridal and luxury textile positioning should specify, and it commands a premium reflecting the raw material cost and weaving skill involved.
Real zari uses genuine silver thread with gold plating, giving Banarasi brocade its authentic shine and long-term durability, standard for buyers targeting premium bridal and luxury retail. Synthetic zari replicates the visual effect at lower cost, suiting buyers targeting volume wholesale where price point matters more than material authenticity. Buyers should confirm which type they're ordering and represent it accurately to their own retail customers.
Varanasi's silk weaving tradition, documented for centuries and built on hereditary craft knowledge passed through generations of weaving families, gives the city an authenticity and technical depth in Katan silk, brocade, and zari work that few other regions can genuinely replicate. This concentration of skilled handloom weavers, alongside supporting industries in silk dyeing and zari production, supports both intricate custom bridal fabric orders and the volume consistency bulk wholesale buyers need.
Fabric rolled on tubes or folded per standard yardage length, protected with paper or poly wrapping for transit. Bulk packing in protective cartons for wholesale shipment. Custom cutting to specific lengths available on request.
Silk Mark certification available (verifies genuine silk content), GI (Geographical Indication) certification for authenticated Banarasi origin where applicable, quality inspection reports available per batch on request, Certificate of Origin.
Katan refers to pure silk yarn made from twisted mulberry silk threads, the traditional base fabric used in authentic Banarasi weaving. It's prized for its natural sheen and drape, and forms the foundation for most premium Varanasi handwoven silk products.
Request Silk Mark certification, which verifies genuine silk content, and GI (Geographical Indication) certification confirming authenticated Banarasi origin. Together these confirm both material authenticity and true regional origin rather than a generic silk product using the Banarasi name.
Pricing varies significantly based on zari type (real vs. synthetic), weaving complexity, and design detail. Request a current quotation specifying your target fabric type, zari specification, and order volume for an accurate per-meter price.
MOQ varies significantly based on zari type, weaving complexity, and whether the order uses existing designs or requires custom development. Confirm the current minimum for your specific requirement directly.
Woven silk fabric generally falls under HS code 5007. Confirm the exact classification with your customs broker, since finished garments made from the fabric fall under different codes than raw yardage.
