Woven in the Varisaipet tradition, this saree draws its measured rhythm from multiple border rows in silk thread and gold-toned zari. Small mayil chakram zari buttas are set across the body. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: multiple dark emerald and teal-green silk-thread bands alternating with closely woven gold zari floral and geometric rows. The traditional varisaipet combines panels of silk thread with repeated gold-toned zari registers.

Pallu: an elaborate seer pallu of long, slender gold zari columns, delicate zigzags and ornamental paisley-inspired registers. The seer arrangement is elaborate and densely ornamented in gold-toned zari.

Styling: Pair with an emerald silk blouse with antique-gold jhumkas and a low bun accented by jasmine. The small body buttas keep the field open, giving the varisaipet borders and rich pallu room to stand out at weddings, temple functions or classical-music gatherings.
