Jamun Rettapet Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Mayil Chakram Motifs

This saree is woven in a deep jamun-plum body, with quiet aubergine depth that reads almost like the skin of ripe black grapes under soft light. Across this rich ground, Mayil Chakram motifs are scattered in silk thread and zari, bringing together the grace of the peacock and the radiance of the sun-wheel. The gold glows warmly against the dark silk, giving the body a stately and balanced beauty.

Rettapet is a classic Kanchipuram border language, admired for its strong framed presence and clean structural identity. Here, the body is beautifully offset by a peacock-green border layered with jewel-magenta bands and antique-gold ornament. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: The peacock-green border with jewel-magenta bands feels like shaded temple foliage meeting a sudden burst of bougainvillea: traditional, bold and unmistakably festive. It is further enriched with woven motifs in both silk thread and zari, giving greater softness and dimension than zari alone. Explore the Purple Silk Sarees collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.

Pallu: The pallu carries woven motifs in both silk thread and zari. This interplay of texture is especially beautiful, adding richness without making the saree feel heavy-handed.

Styling: Style it with a jewel-magenta blouse or a peacock-green blouse, antique-gold earrings and a soft braid or bun. It would be lovely for temple visits, wedding functions, housewarmings, Diwali gatherings and family celebrations where you want a darker, more jewel-toned Kanchipuram.
