Black Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchi Pattu Saree with Olive Gold Rettapet Border

A Carnatic music kutcheri concert calls for a saree with quiet sophistication, and this black silk scattered with mustard gold peacock motifs in diamond frames, finished with a rettapet border, was made for exactly that setting. Twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge — 8 days on the loom, and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The black body is woven in pure mulberry silk, scattered with mustard gold peacock and geometric motifs framed in diamond outlines, giving a modern, graphic quality to the classic Kanchipuram silhouette. Explore our full pure silk Kanchipuram collection for coordinating pieces.

The border deepens into an olive-gold band with dense diamond lattice work and a polka-dotted teal and cream section, and the pallu carries the same rich gold density for a striking, contemporary finish.

This saree pairs beautifully with antique gold or polki jewellery, and suits Carnatic music concerts, evening cultural programmes, or any occasion calling for understated drama.
