Golden Yellow Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Aubergine Korvai Border

Some Kanchipurams are remembered first for their colour. This golden yellow pure silk saree pairs a vivid body with a deep aubergine border, giving the drape warmth, depth and a distinctly traditional Kanchipuram character.

Handwoven in pure mulberry silk, the golden yellow body is scattered with petite gold zari buttas and larger ornamental zari medallions. The open silk ground allows each woven detail to stand apart rather than crowding the colour. Explore our pure silk Kanchipuram sarees.

The defining feature is its Korvai construction. Body and border woven separately and structurally interlocked on the loom. The deep aubergine border is richly worked in gold zari, combining broad metallic bands with traditional figural and floral ornamentation. The contrast between yellow silk, aubergine and warm gold gives the saree its strong visual identity. Discover our Korvai Kanchipuram silks.

Styling: Let the aubergine border guide the blouse. A plain deep aubergine raw silk blouse with an elbow length sleeve would sharpen the contrast without competing with the zari. Add antique gold earrings, keep the neckline relatively clean, and wear the pallu open so the broad woven border remains visible.
