Woven in the Zari Kattam tradition, the fine grid of zari is part of the visual rhythm of the body, while petite buttas add delicate points of gold. A dark plum-brown body, close to roasted kaapi beans in shadow with a purple undertone, is drawn in fine gold zari kattam checks and dotted with small gold buttas. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: The contrast border blooms in vivid Vadamalli magenta, its antique-gold peacocks entwined with malar kodi floral vines. The bright border sets off the dark body without overwhelming it.
Pallu: A luminous magenta-purple pallu opens into a dense old-gold floral lattice, decorative vertical zari panels and fine striped sections, finishing the dark body with a brilliant floral flourish. Explore the Zari Kattam collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Choose a plain magenta silk blouse, sculptural gold earrings and a smooth low bun. The contrast pallu can be worn free-flowing across the shoulder to bring the vivid purple and gold close to the face.
