The body is woven in deeply saturated forest-green pure mulberry silk. Individually spaced gold zari buttas alternate between petite floral medallions and stylised ornamental forms, leaving generous areas of the dark green silk open and allowing its remarkable colour depth to remain prominent. Explore our pure silk Kanchipuram collection.

The traditional Rettapet border is organised through twin gold zari registers filled with prominent Mayil motifs, stylised floral forms and fine geometric detailing. The pallu becomes considerably richer with long vertical gold zari bands and ornamental woven compositions. A narrow orange-red silk selvedge traces the edge, introducing a vivid finishing contrast against the forest green and gold.

Styling suggestion: Introduce a plain orange-red raw-silk blouse to pick up the narrow selvedge, or use the included forest-green blouse for a continuous tonal effect. Add polished-gold jhumkas, leave the neckline relatively quiet and wear the patterned pallu open over the shoulder. Finish with a centre-parted low bun and jasmine.
