Leaf Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjipuram Rettapet Saree with Navy Blue Bird Motif Gold Zari Border

Leaf green silk gives this Kanjipuram a luminous, almost jewel-like body, while its Rettapet treatment introduces deep navy and classic gold at the edge. Repeated woven bird forms bring a distinctly traditional rhythm to the border before the saree opens into a rich tonal green-and-gold pallu.

This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, defined by traditional twin-register border detailing against an otherwise open leaf-green body. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: A deep navy-blue contrast register carries repeated stylised bird motifs in classic-gold zari, framed by fine geometric and triangular edging. A broader tonal green-and-gold register visible through the folded border continues the bird vocabulary with additional floral and geometric supporting bands.

Pallu: The tonal green pallu becomes substantially richer than the body, with an expansive classic-gold zari field built from closely ordered diamond and lozenge geometry. Bright green tassels finish the edge, reinforcing the saree’s saturated green-and-gold colour story.

Styling: A deep navy blouse would repeat the darkest border register, while antique gold creates a more ceremonial finish. Pair with compact temple earrings, a low centre-parted bun and jasmine for traditional programs. For evening receptions, keep the necklace minimal and add a navy or dark-green potli so the woven border remains the focal point.

Current Look: Dark green Kanchi silk and substantial gold weaving are also present in recent ceremonial dressing. Rani Mukerji’s September 2026 appearance was identified as a dark-green zari-kattam Kanchi silk saree. This Idam Living saree is a separate handwoven Rettapet composition, distinguished by its navy bird-motif registers and tonal geometric gold-zari pallu.

The green, navy and classic-gold palette works naturally for Navratri gatherings, Vijayadashami, Deepavali, Karthigai Deepam, temple programs, weddings, Carnatic music evenings, classical dance programs, festive occasions, ceremonies and cultural gatherings.
