Delicate Lilac Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjipuram Saree with Red Rettapet Border

A 60th birthday Shashtiabdapurthi celebration is a rare and sacred milestone, and this dusty lilac silk with its red rettapet border was made for exactly that kind of occasion. Twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge — 7 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 dusty lilac body is woven in pure mulberry silk, scattered with small gold geometric motifs spaced evenly across the surface — soft and understated, letting the silk itself carry the elegance. Explore our full pure silk Kanchipuram collection for coordinating pieces.

The border is where the rettapet structure shows itself clearly — a rich red band with twin parallel gold zari lines and a densely woven gold edge. The pallu carries the same twin-line rettapet detailing for a balanced, ceremonial finish. Explore more of our Rettapet sarees if this border style speaks to you.

This saree pairs beautifully with antique gold or pearl jewellery, and suits milestone birthdays, temple functions, or any occasion calling for soft, dignified elegance.
