This Kanchipuram is woven in a classic Zari Kattam composition in pure mulberry silk, with the fine, closely set grid-like zari detailing that lends the silk its shifting, luminous surface. The delicate lines brighten as the pleats move, while the broad border provides a more defined ornamental contrast. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: Deep aubergine to dark Kathiri-purple, like the shadowed skin of a ripe brinjal at dusk. The silk takes on an almost liquid luminosity as the finely set zari-kattam structure catches light from different angles. Closely spaced gold zari-kattam filaments lend a shifting, densely glimmering surface. Purple border features sequential peacock and floral zari bands. Expansive gold zari pallu with minute diamond lattice and ornamental vertical panels. The contrast between the coloured silk and gold-toned weaving gives this Kanchipuram an expressive, ceremonial character without losing the clarity of its woven details.
