Collection: Kimkhab Brocade Fabric Online

Kimkhab means golden dream — "kin" for gold and "khab" for dream in Persian — and the fabric lives up to the name. It is a brocade woven so densely with gold and silver zari that the silk base beneath it almost disappears. This is the heaviest and most opulent of the Banaras brocades, with roots stretching back to Vedic literature where it was called hiranya, cloth of gold, and reaching its full expression under Mughal court patronage. Banaras remains the primary centre of Kimkhab weaving today. TradeUNO offers Kimkhab Brocade across a wide colour range — in kimkhab, alfi meena kimkhab, and chevron weave patterns — all at a 44 inch width and suited to bridal and festive pieces that call for maximum presence.
