Deep Aubergine Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Butta Saree with Handwoven Zari Paisley Buttas and Intricate Mayil Border

Deep Aubergine Purple gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjeevaram saree a beautifully saturated body, moving between rich purple, dark plum and subtle brown-purple undertones as the silk catches the light. Petite warm-gold zari buttas are placed across the open field, while larger handwoven zari paisley buttas appear at measured intervals, their curved forms creating distinct points of ornament against the deep silk.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with individual gold zari motifs woven directly into the body at measured intervals rather than as a continuous all-over pattern. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 8 to 10 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 handwoven paisley buttas are deliberately given room to stand on their own — each elongated zari motif remains clearly visible rather than merging into an all-over pattern, while the smaller buttas provide a quieter rhythm around them. The intricate border introduces a denser traditional vocabulary: repeating Mayil forms are framed within richly woven gold zari panels, surrounded by geometric lattice work, leaf-like edging and smaller ornamental details. The pallu takes this metallic treatment considerably further, developing into a broad field of circular, floral and geometric zari that creates a rich ceremonial finish over the shoulder.

Styling: Style it with Deep Aubergine Purple for a seamless tonal look, or choose a slightly deeper plum to emphasize the colour depth of the silk. Traditional or antique gold jewellery complements the handwoven paisley buttas and Mayil border beautifully, making it well suited to weddings, temple celebrations and elegant evening gatherings.
