Rettapet remains the confirmed type for this saree, even where the body carries spaced buttas. Deep arakku-maroon silk with small spaced gold buttas across a quiet self-toned field. The border brings structure to the drape, while the pallu provides the denser zari finish. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: Emerald green Rettapet border built from layered gold zari registers, narrow patterned lines and rich contrast green bands against the arakku body.
Pallu: Gold-rich brocaded pallu with a compact all-over geometric zari field, finished with matching green-striped border detailing.
Styling: Pair with a plain emerald silk blouse or an antique-gold blouse. Temple jewellery and a neat braid or low bun keep the green border and gold lines crisp and traditional.
Suitable for Navratri gatherings in October, Deepavali celebrations in November, temple occasions, family ceremonies and special occasions.

What does Rettapet mean on this saree?
What does Rettapet mean on this saree?
Rettapet refers to the border-led construction language seen here in the layered parallel zari registers. On this saree, those gold lines frame bold emerald green bands and give the drape its structured finish.
How does the green border change the overall look?
How does the green border change the overall look?
The emerald contrast brings brightness to the deep arakku body without overwhelming it. It makes the saree especially striking for temple visits, festive occasions and evening gatherings.
Are the motifs on the body heavy or minimal?
Are the motifs on the body heavy or minimal?
The body carries small spaced gold buttas rather than an all-over heavy pattern. That restraint keeps the saree elegant and easy to style while allowing the border and pallu to stand out.
