Kathiripoo Lavender Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Saree with Aubergine Rettapet Border

A Diwali celebration in Edison, New Jersey — the Little India of the East Coast — calls for this graceful Kathiripoo lavender handwoven pure silk Kanchipuram saree, woven in the Rettapet style. Twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge. Each saree takes 43 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Handwoven with generations of skill by families in Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

The body is handwoven in a soft Kathiripoo lavender pure mulberry silk, patterned with fine white checks that give the weave a crisp, restrained texture.

A deep aubergine-purple Rettapet border frames the body, its twin parallel lines creating a balanced, tailored edge with quiet gold zari detailing.

Styling Tip

Wear hair in a long, braid-inspired plait with restrained traditional jewellery — antique-gold jhumkas and slim bangles — letting the lavender-aubergine pairing and crisp checks carry the look without further ornament.
