Ivory Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchi Pattu Saree with Rust Orange Rettapet Border

Pongal mornings call for a saree bright enough to match the kolam at the doorstep — crisp, festive, and easy to move in through a full day of family cooking and visiting. This saree is woven in the Rettapet style, where twin parallel border lines are woven directly into the loom to create a balanced, layered edge. Each saree takes 11 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine — see the craftsmanship in The Making of a Kanjivaram Saree. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The body is pure mulberry silk in a soft ivory, overlaid with a subtle rust orange check that keeps the saree light while still reading as Kanchipuram. Browse our full Kanchipuram Pure Silk collection.

The border and pallu carry the Rettapet twin-line structure in rust orange, filled with gold zari medallions and temple motifs. Explore more Rettapet Kanchipuram silks.

Pair with a rust orange or maroon blouse for festive and temple occasions — see our Kanchipuram saree trends guide.
