Deep Peacock Blue Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Petite Mayil Chakram Butta and Varisaipet Border

The rings are exchanged, the families embrace for the first time as one, and the nichayathartham photographs will be looked at for decades — this is the saree for the mother of the bride or groom on that afternoon. Varisaipet describes a traditional multi-band border structure with repeated woven lines, built up in layered stripes of gold zari rather than a single wide panel. Each saree takes 8 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The body is woven in deep peacock blue pure mulberry silk, scattered all over with petite mayil chakram butta — small peacock-wheel motifs in gold zari repeated in neat rows across the drape. Explore more Mayil Chakram Butta Kanchipuram silks.

The deep purple varisaipet border builds in dense, ornate gold zari bands into a grand pallu of exceptional detail — the kind of pallu reserved for the closest family at an engagement ceremony. See our full varisaipet Kanchipuram edit.

Pair with a deep purple or navy silk blouse and gold jewellery with sapphires or amethysts — well suited to an engagement ceremony, reception, or milestone anniversary within the community.
