The Rettapet EditKesari

Midnight Navy Blue and Kesari Orange Rettapet Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree

Pure Kanchipuram Silk in a colour pairing that has been woven, rewoven and perfected over generations: a deep, dark blue that recalls the midnight sky, balanced by a feisty Kesari-orange border. A vintage classic, and one of the most sought-after combinations our weavers return to time and time again.

❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree. Approximately 18 active days on the loom, followed by careful finishing.
