A kathiripoo-purple body crossed by a close gold zari kattam grid with small scattered zari motifs, radiant with movement. The Zari Kattam grid catches light as the silk moves, a characteristic play of lustre across the handloom surface. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border A royal-blue stacked Varisaipet border with layered gold bands, ornamental floral and paisley details and fine geometric framing. Varisaipet describes the carefully stacked sequence of woven border bands.

Pallu A grand royal-blue pallu with dense gold lattice and successive paisley, vanki and arai maadam-inspired ornamental panels.

Styling Repeat the broad blue border on slightly puffed sleeves for a composed vintage look. This is a styling suggestion, not a promise of pre-stitched blouse construction.
