FAQs

What is Kanchi Kattam in a Kanchipuram silk saree?

Kanchi Kattam refers to a woven check pattern created when warp and weft silk threads intersect in a structured grid across the saree body — distinct from Zari Kattam where the grid is formed using metallic zari threads rather than silk.

How are Kanchi Kattam checks created in the weave?

The checks are formed directly on the loom through careful alignment of silk threads in both directions of the weave, creating a balanced square pattern across the fabric without the use of metallic zari in the body.

Are Idam Living Kanchi Kattam sarees Silk Mark certified?

Yes. Every saree in this collection is woven using 100% pure mulberry silk and is Silk Mark certified by the Silk Mark Organization of India, confirming silk authenticity.

Are Kanchi Kattam Kanchipuram silk sarees suitable for Indian weddings in the USA?

Yes — Kanchi Kattam Kanchipuram silk sarees are among the most sought-after styles for Indian weddings in the USA. The structured check pattern combined with rich gold zari borders creates a bold, festive look beloved across South Indian Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada communities.

How do I care for a Kanchi Kattam Kanchipuram silk saree?

Dry clean only. Store folded in a muslin cloth away from direct sunlight. Air the saree periodically and avoid contact with perfume or moisture to preserve the silk and the woven check structure.
