Woven in the Ettukol tradition, A smooth, lustrous silk field in vivid violet-magenta without all-over buttas, allowing the saturated silk colour and fine cross-thread sheen to take centre stage. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 25 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: An expressive Ettukol arrangement of sharp ascending and descending gold zari temple-like spires along the lower edge, with neatly aligned slender gold zari bands on the folded border.
Pallu: A broad, lustrous gold zari field with a subtle shimmering texture and vertical narrow violet pinstripe registers, framed by deep violet silk.
Styling: A gold tissue blouse creates a festive pairing, while a matching kathiripoo silk blouse lets the unusual pointed border remain the focus. Try sculptural gold studs and a sleek braid. This striking violet works especially well for reception evenings, Diwali dinners and cultural stage events.
