Lavender Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Saree with Rettapet Vermilion Selvedge

Hosting a cousin's visit with a gift she'll take home — this handwoven Pure Kancheepuram silk saree in a soft lavender with a vibrant vermilion selvedge, woven in the timeless Rettapet style, is the perfect choice. Rettapet: twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge. Each saree takes an estimated 9 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine (days on loom estimated — please confirm). Crafted thread by thread by artisan families in Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district — read our story.

The body is woven from pure mulberry silk in a soft lavender with a luminous natural sheen, allowing the understated elegance of the weave to take centre stage. The traditional Rettapet construction frames the body beautifully, its signature twin parallel borders lending exceptional definition and balance.

The vermilion selvedge runs along the body's edge, while the richly woven antique gold zari border showcases majestic yali motifs and heritage-inspired detailing — motifs long associated with strength and protection in South Indian weaving tradition. The grand pallu continues the same intricate zari craftsmanship.

An elegant choice for weddings, festive celebrations, temple visits, and special family occasions. Pair the lavender body with an ivory or vermilion silk blouse, and complete the look with antique gold temple jewellery — a delicate jhumka and matching vanki.
