The Rettapet construction gives this saree its defining frame through a traditional twin-register border. Against the deep green body, the red and orange-red bands carry Pavun motifs and stylised floral foliage, making the border the most prominent design element of the drape. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: A prominent Rettapet twin-register border in red, orange-red and gold, with Pavun motifs and stylised floral foliage arranged through the ornamental bands.
Pallu: A red pallu built from long fine zari stripes and repeated traditional ornamental bands, finished with a strong contrast edge.
Styling: The green, red and orange-red palette is deliberately classic. A plain red or green blouse keeps the border dominant, while antique-gold accents can echo the Pavun and foliage zari work.
Especially relevant for the upcoming Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali season, as well as weddings, temple gatherings and other special occasions.
