Navya Banarasi Kalga Box Clutch – Teal and Antique Gold Silk | Sache

Teal Banarasi brocade worked in antique gold kalga — large paisley domes framed by leaf jaal, with tiny red meena accents at the centre of each motif.

Why you will reach for it

• Antique gold zari, softer and older-looking than bright gold, on a deep teal ground.
• Meenakari accents — the small red details woven into the motifs, a hallmark of finer Banarasi work.
• Large kalga domes with leaf-filled jaal between, the most traditional layout in the edit.
• Structured box frame, gold-tone clasp, detachable chain.

Styling it

This is the most heritage-looking piece in the collection and the one that reads most clearly as real Banarasi work. It suits a plain silk saree, a Kanjivaram, or bridal wear where the bag should look like it came from the same loom.

Frequently asked questions

What is meenakari in Banarasi weaving?

Meenakari is the technique of weaving small areas of coloured silk — most often red or green — inside a gold zari motif, adding a second colour to the pattern. The red dots on this clutch are meena work.

What is a kalga?

The kalga is the large paisley or mango-shaped motif that anchors a traditional Banarasi design, usually set within a field of leaf or floral jaal.

Is this suitable for a bride?

Yes. The antique gold and teal palette with meena accents sits naturally with Kanjivaram and Banarasi bridal silks.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean with a dry cloth only. Do not wash, soak or dry clean.
