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: Broad emerald green Rettapet border with a floral zari panel, fine gold bands and a clear contrast finish against the arakku body.
Pallu: Self-toned pallu with long vertical gold zari stripes, decorative side registers and emerald green edging that ties back to the contrast border.
