This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, its distinctive gap border leaving visible breathing room of plain silk between richly woven antique-gold zari bands. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 7 to 11 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The body shifts subtly between lavender, lilac and cool violet as the natural silk catches the light, while small gold zari buttas are spaced across the field with enough openness for the colour itself to remain the focus. The border introduces a dramatically deeper purple: wide areas of plain Deep Royal Purple silk sit between richly woven antique-gold zari bands, one carrying large rounded medallion-like repeats. The pallu becomes considerably more elaborate, with Deep Royal Purple forming the ground for vertical ornamental zari panels and a densely patterned central field of minute geometric repeats.

Styling: Keep the palette tonal. A plain Deep Royal Purple blouse creates the strongest continuation of the Rettapet border, while Lavender Violet produces a softer monochromatic finish. Choose antique-gold jewellery rather than introducing another bright colour, and keep the pieces sculptural rather than overly layered. Finish with a softly centre-parted low bun with jasmine or a polished traditional braid.
