Magenta and Mint Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Rettapet Border and Mayil Chakram Butta

For the woman dressing for a Philadelphia pithi ceremony who wants a saree that announces the beginning of something joyful, this magenta and mint green Rettapet Kanchipuram does exactly that. Twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge in the Rettapet weave structure.

The magenta body is woven in pure mulberry silk, its vivid fuchsia-pink carrying the characteristic depth of hand-reeled silk — bright in light, rich and deep in shadow. Scattered across the body are gold zari Mayil Chakram butta — the peacock-wheel medallion, each one individually woven in fine gold zari, the warm gold against the magenta ground creating a surface of festive, ceremonial warmth.

The border arrives in a striking pale mint green — woven separately and Rettapet-joined to the magenta body, the twin parallel lines marking the boundary between the two with characteristic Rettapet precision. The mint border carries gold zari floral and temple motifs; the pallu opens the mint green ground in full, the Rettapet lines framing it cleanly at either edge.
