Olive Green and Maroon Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Rettapet Border

This olive green and maroon Kancheepuram is woven in the Rettapet tradition — twin parallel border lines creating a balanced layered edge — with Veldhari body weave and floral butta in gold zari across the earthy olive green ground.

During an evening reception in New York, this saree reflects bold and luminous elegance. The body is woven in deep, muted olive green with warm golden undertones. The Veldhari weave introduces wavy linear forms with small dot accents, creating a flowing rhythmic movement. Floral butta in pure gold zari appear as individually placed ornamental units. The maroon Rettapet border carries twin parallel zari lines with gold zari temple motifs and peacock detail. The pallu carries richly woven temple imagery in gold zari against the maroon ground.
