The zari though heavy does not look too shiny or bling. The use of bright colors adds up to the fun factor and making fabrics like Kanjeevaram an option for those who prefer funky sarees.
Apart from those heavy Kanjeevarams his sarees like the Banarsi, Jamdhani and the Khadi sarees are must sought out and each of these sarees have their own specialty. The signature Gaurang Shah pattern of floral and geometrics across these fabrics makes it very unique. He does not do much embroidery in his ensembles, instead what others do with embroidery he does with his weaving. Â Each of his sarees takes anywhere between 4 months to a year to get done, as it is completely done by hand. Sarees like Patola and Paithani of Gaurang Shah is worth its weight in gold.
