Deep Aubergine Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Butta Saree with Antique Gold Zari Buttas, Mayil Motif Border and Grand Woven Pallu

A deep, saturated aubergine gives this handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram saree its quietly regal presence. Against the almost jewel-dark silk, antique gold zari appears particularly luminous, creating a beautiful balance between restraint and traditional grandeur.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with individually woven decorative motifs placed at measured intervals across the body silk. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The body is scattered with alternating handwoven gold zari buttas, giving the silk a measured rhythm without overwhelming its rich colour. Along the edge, an elaborate antique gold zari border is woven with prominent traditional Mayil motifs and finely articulated ornamental detailing. The pallu becomes the most opulent part of the composition — dense geometric zari weaving is framed by multiple ornamental registers and traditional motifs, creating the kind of richly finished pallu associated with ceremonial Kanchipuram weaving.

Styling: Let the aubergine and antique gold remain the focus. Style it with traditional gold jewellery for a wedding or temple celebration, or pare it back with antique-finish earrings and a clean blouse for an elegant evening look.
