This Kanchipuram saree's pure mulberry silk body is woven in a classic Varisaipet composition. A deep Arakku-pink silk ground glows with long, slender vertical zari lines and scattered gold-toned buttas. The oosivaanam effect is like fine golden rain caught in a field of flowering bougainvillea. 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: A broad varisaipet border builds its grandeur through tier upon tier of fine zari lines, geometric bands, repeated mayil-inspired bird figures and floral ornament, with darker silk-thread breaks lending definition.
Pallu: A lavish Arakku-pink pallu of dense gold-toned floral creepers and repeating maanga (paisley) forms, with broad decorative panels and closely set geometric borders. The surface reads as an ornate tapestry of Kanchipuram zari work. Explore the Varisaipet collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: A matching deep-pink blouse or a muted antique-gold blouse with traditional jewellery.
