Deep Cocoa Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Ruby Red Rettapet Border

The Naandi and Saptapadi rites of a Kannada wedding call for a saree woven with the same reverence as the ceremony itself. This handwoven pure silk Kanchipuram Rettapet saree is woven using the traditional Rettapet technique — twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge. Each saree takes 48 days from dyeing to weaving and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven on traditional looms by families across Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

The body is woven in a deep cocoa, in pure mulberry silk, scattered with delicate gold zari floral buttas that shimmer gently across the drape. Explore more from our pure silk Kanchipuram collection.

The ruby red Rettapet border is woven with magnificent kamalam (lotus) medallions, majestic annapakshi (mythical swan) motifs, ornate floral vines, and intricate geometric zari bands, echoing the grandeur of a temple frieze in gold. Discover more Kanchipuram ceremonial silks.

Pair this saree for the Saptapadi with a ruby red silk blouse, a gold kasu mala, and jhumka earrings for a classic bridal-family look.
