Deep Brown Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Butta Saree with Purple Kanchana Undertone, Antique Gold Zari Border and Red Selvedge
Deep Brown gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjivaram saree a beautifully saturated character, carrying a subtle purple Kanchana undertone that shifts into view as the silk catches the light. Across the body, petite handwoven zari buttas are arranged in a precise repeated rhythm, creating a fine constellation of antique gold against the deep silk.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with petite handwoven zari buttas arranged in a dense, disciplined repeat across the body. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 14 to 18 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: Rather than relying on a few large motifs, the body is covered with small metallic forms placed closely and evenly across the silk, their warm antique-gold tone catching the light gently while the depth of the Deep Brown body, warmed by its purple Kanchana undertone, remains the dominant impression. The border becomes considerably richer, with broad antique-gold zari registers introducing traditional ornamental forms, scrolling details, fine leaf-like edging and multiple geometric bands, finished along the very edge with a narrow Red selvedge that adds a precise line of warmth beneath the gold. The pallu intensifies the metallic treatment with a dense geometric zari field and long ornamental registers. Explore the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Pair it with Deep Brown for a tonal treatment, antique gold for a ceremonial finish, or deep red to echo the fine selvedge. Traditional gold jewellery complements the warm zari beautifully, while temple jewellery can emphasize the saree's more classical character. It is especially suited to weddings, temple occasions and festive evenings.
Blouse Piece Included: 0.8m running blouse piece. See our Blouse Stitching Guide.
