The Rettapet EditRamya

Black and Teal Blue Rettapet Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree with Chakram Buttas

Pure Kanchipuram Silk in midnight black, scattered with tiny Chakram buttas like stars above a still temple tank. Against this depth, a cool Mayil Kazhuthu-inspired teal-blue rises in the Rettapet border, its twin gold-tone ornamental bands glinting like reflections on water. The teal pallu continues in fine woven stripes and delicate buttas, giving the dramatic colour pairing a graceful, balanced finish.

❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree. Approximately 18 active days on the loom, followed by careful finishing.
