What does Ettukol mean in this Kanchipuram saree?

Ettukol refers to the traditional eight-shuttle weaving construction used for this Kanchipuram silk. Its dense handwoven structure gives the saree pronounced texture and a substantial, composed fall.

Are the pastel colours printed on the black silk?

No. Soft pastel-coloured threads are woven into the deep charcoal-black silk. They create discreet shifts of colour that become more apparent as the fabric catches the light.

What blouse and jewellery would suit this black Ettukol saree?

A powder-pink, muted lilac or pale sage silk blouse would echo its pastel accents. Keep the blouse embroidery restrained and add a small antique-gold necklace or earrings so the Ettukol texture remains the focus.

Does it include a blouse piece, and can Idam stitch it?

The saree includes a 0.8 m running blouse piece within its 6.3 m total length. Custom blouse stitching is available for $30 as a separate service, with a four-week turnaround.
