Deep Aubergine Handwoven Lightweight Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Zari Kattam and Mayil Zari Border

Deep Aubergine Handwoven Lightweight Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Zari Kattam and Mayil Zari Border

Deep aubergine silk gives this Lightweight Kanchipuram a saturated, almost jewel-like depth, while a fine gold Zari Kattam grid introduces quiet order across the body. Small woven motifs sit between the checks, leaving the elaborate border to carry the strongest ornament.

❖ This piece took 21 days on the loom to weave in Kanchipuram — handwoven by artisan families whose generational skill keeps this heritage tradition alive.

The Lightweight Kanchipuram construction retains the visual architecture of traditional Kanchi silk while keeping the body relatively restrained. Fine gold lines form the Zari Kattam field across the aubergine ground, punctuated by scattered woven motifs. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 21 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: A broad gold zari border is densely articulated with traditional bands and repeated Mayil motifs, giving the darker body a luminous ornamental frame.

Pallu: The pallu expands the gold zari into a large woven field with fine geometric texture and richly repeated ornamental bands.

Styling: Keep the blouse aubergine for a deep tonal finish, or use antique gold to bring forward the border. Traditional gold jewellery, temple necklaces and pearls work especially well against this dark silk.
