Arakku Maroon Lightweight Pure Silk Kanchipuram Silk Thread Kattam Saree with Ivory Gold Border
Arakku Maroon Lightweight Pure Silk Kanchipuram Silk Thread Kattam Saree with Ivory Gold Border
Arakku maroon, deep and quietly beautiful, is one of the most enduring colours in the Kanchipuram silk tradition. Here, its richness is softened by the delicate rhythm of silk-thread kattams, fine golden lines crossing the body in a measured, graceful pattern.
The ivory border brings a wonderful sense of light. A row of muted mauve-grey Thazhampoo Reku forms creates the transition, followed by an intricately woven expanse of gold zari. Traditional geometric ornamentation, with Mayil Kann and Rudraksham Pet-inspired details, lends the border the refinement of old Kanchipuram weaving.
The pallu is especially luminous. Long parallel gold zari bands alternate with slender ivory silk divisions, creating a graceful striped composition reminiscent of the Ilkal pallu aesthetic. Fine gold zari patterning along the lower edge completes the design.
Style with an ivory silk blouse and traditional gold jewellery, or choose a matching Arakku blouse for a beautifully composed monochromatic look.
A lightweight pure silk Kanchipuram with the quiet dignity of an heirloom, and a softness of colour that feels wonderfully timeless.
Blouse Piece Included: 0.8 m running blouse piece. See our Blouse Stitching Guide.
