Unveiling The Brand
Welcome to Banarashe! Where four years of dedicated craftsmanship and passion blossom at last into our official digital presence. Born in 2021, our journey has been about embracing the artistry of Banaras–its rich weaving traditions, sustainable practices, and meaningful stories. In May 2025, we proudly launched our website, marking a pivotal moment as Banarashe goes live to share its creations and culture with the world.
Our Legacy:
Established in 2021, Banarashe has been committed to honoring Banarasi heritage—reviving intricate weaving techniques, supporting local artisans, and empowering women through sustainable livelihoods.
Our vision is to restore and glory in the timelessness of Indian sarees, interlacing heritage with contemporary chic - so every woman is proud to wrap her heritage. In addition, to illuminate the artistry and perseverance of our local artisans and weavers. We dream of a world where their art gets international recognition and where each saree becomes a testament to tradition, courage, and empowerment - particularly of the amazing women who are the pillars of this cultural heritage.
Our mission is simple i.e to design and curate true, high-quality sarees that respect tradition, empower the artisans, and imbue every moment in a woman's life with elegance and confidence. We want to pay tribute to the hands behind the threads, by nurturing and empowering the skilled crafters, most of whom are women, by generating sustainable livelihood, equitable working conditions, and a platform where their talent is cherished and respected. Through our sarees, we want to empower women both "economically and culturally" as the name itself indicates - "Banarashe"
May 2025: The Digital Journey Begins
This May, Banarashe officially entered the online stage. Our site is not just a storefront—it's an experience. Read in-depth product narratives, artisan stories, and behind-the-scenes looks at the craft. Whether it’s your everyday wardrobe or a ceremonial statement, our designs honor heritage with modern sensibility.
Inauguration by Chandrakant Raghunath Patil
We were hugely privileged to have the honor of having Chandrakant Raghunath Patil, abbreviated as C. R. Patil launched our brand online. An esteemed political personality, he is the Union Minister of Jal Shakti and has been elected a Member of Parliament several terms in succession from Navsari, Gujarat. He is also the state president of the BJP in the state of Gujarat. Prior to becoming a national leader, he was a Gujarat police constable and then a journalist, later entering politics in 1989. His presence reinforced our core values: heritage empowerment and community upliftment.
