Arakku Red Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Rettapet Saree with Chocolate Brown Yaanai Zari Border

Rich Arakku red is grounded by a deep chocolate brown border, giving this saree the weight of a classic temple palette without making the body feel heavy. The gold motifs stay measured across the red silk before gathering into the elephant-lined border and dense pallu.

Woven in the Rettapet tradition, the strongly framed chocolate-brown edge gives definition to the Arakku red body. Alternating mayil and chakram zari buttas move across the silk, while the border introduces a clearly visible yaanai procession. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: Deep chocolate brown Rettapet border with a clearly visible procession of gold zari yaanai motifs, stacked with floral and geometric registers.

Pallu: Deep chocolate brown pallu with a dense gold zari diamond lattice and long ornamental side bands.

Styling: Choose a chocolate-brown blouse for a grounded traditional look or Arakku red for continuity. Antique gold, kemp jewellery and a temple-style hair arrangement suit the yaanai border especially well.
