The mehendi and haldi evening before a big fat desi wedding calls for a saree that glows with festive warmth. This handwoven pure silk Kancheepuram Rettapet saree is woven using the traditional Rettapet technique — twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge. Each saree takes 43 days from dyeing to finishing and cannot be replicated by machine. Brought to life on the loom by artisan families, handwoven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

❖ Only 3 pieces handwoven in this design. Handwoven to order over 43 days — dyeing through to the final weave, with roughly 18 days on the loom itself.

● Silk Mark Certified ● 18 Days on Loom ● Pure Mulberry Silk ● Handwoven in Kanchipuram

The body is woven in a royal indigo, in pure mulberry silk, scattered with delicate gold zari floral buttas that shimmer gently across the drape. Explore more from our pure silk Kanchipuram collection.

The orchid purple Rettapet border is woven with oversized kamalam (lotus) motifs, graceful floral scrolls, and finely layered zari bands, echoing the grandeur of a temple frieze in gold. Discover more Kanchipuram ceremonial silks.

Wear this saree for the mehendi or haldi evening with an orchid purple or gold silk blouse, layered bangles, and statement jhumkas.
