FAQs

What is a Rettapet border in a Kanchipuram silk saree?

Rettapet is a traditional border structure where twin parallel zari lines are woven along the edge of the border, creating a clear layered transition between the saree body and the border — one of the most classical border styles in the Kanchipuram tradition.

How is Rettapet different from other Kanchipuram borders?

Unlike single-line borders or heavily motif-driven borders, the Rettapet structure uses two distinct parallel lines to frame the border edge, giving it a refined, balanced appearance that works beautifully across all colour combinations.

Are Idam Living Rettapet 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 Rettapet Kanchipuram silk sarees suitable for Indian weddings in the USA?

Yes — Rettapet Kanchipuram silk sarees are a refined, elegant choice for Indian weddings in the USA. Their classical border structure and pure silk drape make them ideal for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and festive celebrations within South Indian communities.

How do I care for a Rettapet 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 zari border.
