Lilac Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Silk-Thread Mayil and Annam Butta

For a Thanksgiving gathering that blends two traditions at one table, a soft lilac saree feels celebratory without being heavy. This Kanjivaram saree is woven in Varisaipet: traditional multi-band border structure with repeated woven lines, with fine silk-thread Mayil (peacock) and Annam (swan) buttas worked across the body. Each saree takes 16 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The body is woven in soft lilac pure mulberry silk, with small silk-thread Annam (swan) and Mayil (peacock) buttas in maroon and deep green scattered across the field. Browse our full Varisaipet Kanchipuram collection.

The border and pallu move into a deep navy-purple ground with multi-band Varisaipet rows in gold and pink zari, woven with Annam motifs along the band. See more pure silk Kanchipuram pieces.

Pair with a navy or maroon blouse, rose gold jewellery, for a Thanksgiving family dinner, an autumn reception, or any warm-toned celebration.
