This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, with Korvai technique used in the contrast construction between the Deep Forest Green body and the Radiant Orange border. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The green is deep enough to appear almost shadowed in softer light, giving the silk a sophisticated richness. Against it, the orange arrives with warmth and luminosity, while antique gold zari draws the two colours together. Across the Deep Forest Green body, carefully spaced handwoven gold zari buttas add small flashes of ornament, keeping the expanse of dark silk elegant. The meeting of the Deep Forest Green body and Radiant Orange border has a crisp, deliberate definition from the Korvai construction. The border is woven in vivid orange silk and antique gold zari, with multiple narrow ornamental registers giving it depth and rhythm. The pallu is the grand finale: Radiant Orange becomes the ground for dense antique gold zari, with a richly filled central field framed by intricate geometric and traditional ornamental registers, giving it ceremonial presence.

Styling: Let the colour contrast lead the styling. A Radiant Orange blouse will draw the border and pallu into the complete look, while a Deep Forest Green blouse creates a quieter, elegant silhouette. Traditional gold jewellery or temple jewellery is especially beautiful against this green, orange and antique gold palette.
