Antique Mustard Gold Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Saree with Butta Elephant Peacock Border

Pongal brings kolam, sugarcane and a house full of family, and this Antique Mustard Gold Pure Silk Kancheepuram saree fits right into that warmth. Delicate gold zari buttas are scattered by hand across the body, catching the light differently with every fold — the hallmark of Butta weaving. Each saree takes 40 days from dyeing to weaving and cannot be replicated by machine. Each saree comes from the weaver families of Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district. Read our story.

The body is woven in a warm Manjal-toned mustard gold, in pure mulberry silk, scattered with traditional gold zari buttas. Explore more from our pure silk Kanchipuram collection.

The statement border combines royal purple and deep emerald green, worked with gold zari elephant, peacock and ornamental motifs, continuing into the pallu — a border with enough colour and detail to be the centrepiece of the drape.

Styling Tip

A neat braid finished with a few pinned flowers keeps the styling traditional without adding bulk near the neckline. Choose a single pair of substantial gold jhumkas and skip the necklace entirely — the purple-and-green border already carries plenty of colour and detail on its own.
