Deep Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Zari Kattam Saree with Rettapet Border and Traditional Motifs
A deep Kathiripoo-purple ground, fine gold zari kattam and an almost black-brown contrast give this Kanchipuram the quiet richness of an older silk. Small zari buttas interrupt the fine grid, while the Rettapet border carries traditional Kanchipuram ornament in a concentrated antique-gold composition.

Woven in the Zari Kattam tradition, fine metallic lines intersect across the deep purple body to create a delicate checked field, punctuated by small gold-zari buttas. 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: A traditional Rettapet border set against an extremely dark contrast ground, with repeated floral medallions and classic Kanchipuram ornamental registers in gold zari.
Pallu: A dense gold-zari geometric field dominates the pallu, framed by multiple traditional woven registers against the dark contrast silk.
Styling: Keep the blouse in the same deep brown-black family for a restrained vintage silhouette, or repeat the purple for a tonal treatment. Antique gold works particularly well with the subdued zari character.
