Charcoal Black Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjipuram Saree with Grey Pavun Korvai Border

For a regional Tamil association's annual cultural evening, where dance, music, and dress all carry tradition forward, a saree should feel substantial and quietly elegant. This Kanjipuram saree is woven in Korvai: body and border woven separately and structurally interlocked on the loom. Each saree involves two separate weaving processes — the Korvai construction requires body and border to be woven on separate looms before structural interlocking. 20 days on the loom. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The body is woven in charcoal black pure mulberry silk, set with small gold zari petite kamalam (lotus) buttas spaced evenly for a refined, low-key texture. Browse our full Korvai Kanchipuram collection.

The border and pallu carry pavun (coin) motifs in gold zari against a soft grey ground, structurally interlocked at the loom in true Korvai fashion. See more pure silk Kanchipuram pieces.

Pair with a grey or gold blouse, antique gold jewellery, for a cultural association evening, a classical dance recital, or a formal community function.
