Black and Ivory Kanchi Kattam Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree with Violet Border

Pure Kanchipuram Silk in a field of minute black-and-ivory checks, as precise as the geometry of old Kanchipuram stonework, meeting a rich violet border. The pallu shifts to luminous plum-violet zari, glowing like dusk settling over a temple courtyard.

❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree, followed by careful finishing.
