Deep Ink Blue Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Varisaipet Saree with Arakku Red Border

This saree is woven in a deepest ink blue, unmistakably blue and never black, and set against a vivid Arakku red border and pallu. The contrast is bold, classic and immediately reminiscent of striking old Kanchipuram colour pairings chosen for evening wear.
