Maroon and Teal Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Elephant Motif Border

There's a certain saree every wardrobe needs — one that moves effortlessly from a temple visit to a formal family dinner without ever feeling out of place. This piece is a Butta weave, where small gold-zari motifs are set in quiet, even repetition across the body rather than one dense overall pattern — here, delicate Kamalam Buttas catch the light as you move. Each saree takes close to 10 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 a deep maroon pure mulberry silk, scattered with small Kamalam Butta motifs in gold zari that sit close to the surface rather than standing raised — part of our pure silk Kanchipuram collection.

The petite border and pallu are woven in a rich teal, framed with a compact gold band of elephants and chakra medallions — a classical temple-inspired motif that reads as festive without being heavy.

Pair it with a self-maroon or contrasting ivory blouse, and let temple jewellery — gold jhumkas and a classic vanki — do the rest. It suits weddings, griha pravesh functions, and festive family occasions equally well.
