Deep Aubergine Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Mayil Kamalam Butta Motifs

A gift for the friend who has everything, this Deep Aubergine Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree earns its place through the kind of craftsmanship that isn't bought casually. Each zari motif is individually woven into the fabric using time-honoured jacquard techniques, a hallmark of the celebrated Butta weaving tradition of Kanchipuram. Each saree takes 18 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Sourced directly from the weaver families of Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

The rich jewel-toned aubergine purple body is beautifully embellished with elegant gold zari woven Mayil Kamalam (Peacock Lotus) buttas, symbolising prosperity, beauty, and auspicious beginnings. Woven from pure mulberry silk and genuine zari, the saree radiates understated luxury while the delicate motifs create a timeless balance of tradition and sophistication.

The saree's spectacular pallu showcases an intricate structured grid of Bomkai-inspired motifs, masterfully woven in shimmering zari. The geometric arrangement and traditional detailing create remarkable visual depth, making the pallu the defining highlight of the saree whether draped or displayed.

This saree is well suited to weddings, grand festive celebrations, bridal wear, and treasured heirloom collections. Pair it with a self-coloured aubergine blouse for a seamless look, or a contrasting antique gold blouse to echo the zari work. Temple jewellery or kemp jewellery in gold complements the richness of the silk and zari beautifully.
