Mayil Kazhuthu Blue-Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Butta Saree with Handwoven Zari Paisley Buttas and Intricate Mayil Border

Mayil Kazhuthu Blue-Green gives this handwoven pure silk Kanchipuram saree its extraordinary depth. The colour moves between peacock blue, deep teal and green as the silk changes through light, so the body never appears completely static. Petite warm-gold zari buttas are placed across the open field, while larger handwoven zari paisley buttas appear at measured intervals and create distinct points of ornament against the shifting silk.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with individual gold zari motifs woven directly into the body at measured intervals rather than as a continuous all-over pattern. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 8 to 10 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 handwoven paisley buttas are given generous space to stand individually — their elongated curved forms are woven directly into the silk in warm gold zari, while the smaller buttas create a quieter rhythm around them, leaving room for the Mayil Kazhuthu colour itself to remain part of the design. The intricate border brings a much richer traditional vocabulary: repeating Mayil forms sit within detailed gold zari panels, surrounded by geometric lattice work, leaf-like edging and smaller ornamental registers. The pallu takes the metallic treatment further with a broad field of circular, floral and geometric zari, while the peacock blue-green silk continues to show through beneath the gold.

Styling: Pair it with deep peacock blue or green for a tonal blouse that draws out whichever side of the colour you prefer. Traditional or antique gold jewellery works beautifully with the handwoven paisley buttas and Mayil border, and the saree suits weddings, temple celebrations and formal evening gatherings naturally.
