Black Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Gold-Silver Panel and Black Border

For a baby's naming ceremony, when the whole family dresses in their finest for a single afternoon, a saree should feel celebratory without overshadowing the day's smallest guest. This Kanjivaram saree carries a plain black field worked into a striking butta-style border, where alternating gold and silver vertical panels sit against a black ground. Each saree takes 12 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 body is woven in deep black pure mulberry silk, left clean and unembellished so the border's alternating gold-and-silver paisley panels take centre stage. Browse our full butta-work Kanchipuram silks collection.

The border is set on a black ground and alternates between rich gold and cool silver zari paisley panels, finished with a fine green-and-magenta double selvedge, and continues into a matching pallu. See more pure silk Kanchipuram pieces.

Pair with a magenta or silver-grey blouse, classic gold jewellery, for a naming ceremony, a first birthday, or any intimate family milestone.
