History
Mr. Abdul Hakim Ansari (late) is the founder of the brand AR Banarsi.. He started with weaving of silks in Varanasi, India. In 1947, after the partition he came to banaras town, Karachi. Being a skilled craftsman, he used his knowledge and wisdom to produce the finest quality dress materials and sarees to be made from handlooms. The beautiful designs on the high quality fabric were liked by the women, because of that it brought a lot of fame to his name.
Later, his sons take over his success. They continued it under the name Banarsi Al-Rahim Brothers. They not only kept their fathers work alive, but they took some great decisions which helped grow their business further. Besides handloom, they employed skilled workers for refined hand weaved clothes. These workers not only kept alive their traditional skills but also played a profound role in cultivating customers’ confidence and loyalty.

The Art Of Making Traditional Dresses
Banarsi Al-Rahim Brothers use pure silk thread as basic raw material to weave basic cloth in their Silver Silk business. Weaving of Brocades with intricate designs using Gold & Silver threads have been their specialty. Furthermore, Gold & Silver threads are used along with or without pure silk threads, thrust either as special weft or warp to form dazzling raised ornamentation. The different techniques used to weave sarees and special dresses are Jamdani, Jangla, Jamawaar, Tan Choi, Tissue, Cutwork, and Butidar.
These dresses are designed with special & ethnic styles for bridal & party wear. Despite the closure of silk thread production in Pakistan, they reestablished the culture of manufacturing silk thread by a certain insect larva to make cocoons. Further on they have advanced to supply cotton silk. Their team of Production Supervisors ensures a strict quality control at every sequence of weaving.
