Arakku Red Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Rettapet Saree with Veldhari Zari Bands

The depth of Arakku lacquer red meets the glow of old copper, like embers in a temple lamp. Veldhari lines sweep across the body; flowers appear in gold along the Rettapet registers, and the grand pallu opens into rich gold patterning.

Woven in the Rettapet tradition, this saree brings deep arakku and rust-red silk with dense fine zari stripes and wider rows of delicate metallic dots; the repeated horizontal veldhari bands lend surface movement and texture. 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: Rich Rettapet double-register framing in stacked zari stripes and floral zariwork, the registers repeated with gold-toned geometric lines around a deeply coloured silk field.

Pallu: A thick, dense-silk grand pallu with broad ornamental gold zari vertical panels, interspersed finer stripe registers and a closely wrought gold lattice section; the Arakku-maroon grounds make the gold especially luminous.
