Black Handwoven Pattu Silk Chanderi Saree with Silver Zari Border and Reed Motif Pallu

A saree built for evening drama without ever feeling heavy — black pure silk that lets a bold silver-and-red border do all the talking. This is a Pattu Silk Chanderi: woven entirely in pure mulberry silk with no cotton blend, the most luxurious of the four traditional Chanderi weaves, closest in feel to a Kanjeevaram but a fraction of the weight. Handwoven by the weavers' collective in Ashok Nagar, Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh. Read our Chanderi silk guide or learn about the four types of Chanderi silk.

The body is woven in black pure silk, kept deliberately plain and self-toned so the border carries the full visual weight of the saree. Explore our full Chanderi pure silk saree collection.

The wide antique silver zari border and pallu carry a vertical arrangement of reed motifs in red and silver thread — a striking, graphic border that reads dramatically against the plain black body, right through to the pallu.

Pair with a silver or red silk blouse and statement silver jewellery — well suited to evening receptions, cultural galas, and festive dinners where a bold contrast border does the work of an entire outfit. See our full guide to styling Chanderi by occasion.
