Mint Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchi Pattu Saree with Ganga Jamuna Silk Thread Buttas

An Indian fashion show and silk saree showcase at a community hall calls for a saree with a rare colour treatment. This fresh mint-green Pure Kanchipuram Silk saree is distinguished by handwoven buttas worked in contrasting silk thread rather than conventional all-zari ornamentation. Each saree takes 40 days from dyeing to weaving, roughly 14 of them on the loom, and cannot be replicated by machine. Handwoven by generations of artisans in Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. Read our story

The body of this pure silk Kanchipuram saree is woven in fresh mint-green pure mulberry silk, with buttas worked in contrasting silk thread rather than gold zari — a quieter, more textural take on the classic Butta.

The saree is framed by a striking Ganga Jamuna border, pairing two differently coloured borders against the fresh green body — a particularly rare colour treatment for this traditional Kanchipuram detail, carried through into the pallu.

Soften the palette further with a pale, lighter-mint blouse rather than matching the body exactly — it keeps the unusual Ganga Jamuna border as the focal point. Pearl drops and loose, soft hair complete a fresh, contemporary look.
