What authentic means for kurta fabric
- A named fibre: katan, raw / matka, tussar / moonga, mashru, brocade, kimkhab, tissue, soft silk.
- Usable width stated in inches or cm, not only a lifestyle photo.
- Honest call-outs when a piece is blend, poly, or cotton weave.
- Piece length or than / roll packing that matches how you will cut.
KashiFab labels material plainly so your tailor knows what is on the table. If it is not pure Banaras silk, we say so.
Checklist before you cut
| Ask | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact fibre name | Sets sheen, stiffness, care, and price band |
| Width on this piece | Changes panels and meter planning |
| Pattern repeat | Jaal and brocade need motif match at sleeve and placket |
| Zari density | Affects comfort, lining, and cleaner choice |
| Lot / colour continuity | Needed when you reorder for a boutique size run |
Pure silk vs silk-look vs cotton weave
The main silk fabric for kurta hub keeps cotton-weave CHO pieces off the silk shop strip on purpose. Value weave pieces still exist under Kurta Fabrics for budget or collar-led work, but they are not authentic Banaras silk yardage.
- Pure / named Banaras silk: katan, raw, tussar, brocade families with clear labels.
- Silk-look / blend: can work for price, but must be labelled before stitching and selling on.
- Cotton weave kurta pieces: different category. Do not treat them as pure silk in your hangtags.

Common questions
How do I know silk fabric for kurta is authentic?
Ask for the fibre name, width, and whether the piece is pure silk, blend, or weave. Vague “silk fabric” labels are a warning sign.
Does KashiFab sell only pure silk under Kurta Fabrics?
No. Kurta Fabrics can include value weave pieces. Use the silk hub and Banarasi silk shop for named silk yardage.
Can I get a sample before bulk?
Yes. Start with a 2.5 m sample or swatches, then reorder matched meters.
