Ivory Tissue Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Saree with Gandaberunda Zari Motifs

A saree for the bride's sister at a Chicago wedding needs to hold its own in every photograph without drawing attention away from the bride, and this ivory tissue silk with its gold Gandaberunda zari motifs was made for exactly that role. Each saree takes 12 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 ivory tissue body is woven in pure mulberry silk with a fine metallic sheen, layered with a dense gold floral jaal and the sacred double-headed Gandaberunda motif worked throughout in butta form. Explore our Gandaberunda motif sarees if this detail speaks to you.

The border deepens into a rich gold zari band with detailed geometric and floral work, and the pallu continues the same tissue shimmer with concentrated Gandaberunda motifs for a striking finish. Browse our full pure silk Kanchipuram collection for coordinating pieces.

This saree pairs beautifully with antique gold or temple jewellery, and suits wedding functions, receptions, or any occasion calling for a luminous, ceremonial finish.
