Deep Maroon Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Rettapet Saree with Gold Buttas and Vanasringaram Border

Deep maroon gives this Rettapet Kanchipuram a quieter, more heirloom-like character than brighter festive silks. Petite gold buttas punctuate the body, while the broad zari edge develops into richly woven Vanasringaram ornament.

The Rettapet construction frames the deep body with a broad traditional edge. Small buttas maintain an open rhythm through the centre while the denser ornament is reserved for the border and pallu. 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: The warm-gold zari border carries detailed Vanasringaram ornament, giving the dark maroon silk an elaborate traditional frame.

Pallu: The pallu develops the Vanasringaram work into a dense gold field with repeated ornamental bands.

Styling: A deep maroon blouse preserves the heirloom quality of the silk. Antique gold, temple jewellery or a strand of pearls can be added without competing with the dense border.
