Kathiripoo Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Butta Saree with Deep Kanchana Brown Contrast, Antique Gold Zari Buttas and Grand Traditional Border

Kathiripoo purple gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjivaram Butta saree an especially luminous body. Extremely fine woven lines cross the cool violet-purple silk, allowing the colour to move from vivid purple to softer lavender-violet through the folds.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with small individually spaced zari motifs set against an open silk ground, leaving the body relatively uncluttered between each motif. This particular piece represents approximately 27 active days on the loom, though weaving time varies by piece. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The contrast shifts dramatically into Deep Kanchana Brown, a dark earthy brown with subtle plum depth. Individually spaced antique-gold zari buttas glow against this darker silk, creating a striking transition from the radiant purple body. The border is substantial and richly woven, with antique-gold geometric diamonds, floral detailing, lattice work and layered traditional registers set against the Kanchana Brown ground. The pallu expands into a dense antique-gold composition of geometric lattice, repeating ornamental forms and richly woven traditional registers. Pair it with Deep Kanchana Brown for a dramatic tonal finish, Kathiripoo purple for continuity, or antique gold for a more ceremonial blouse pairing.
