Mint Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjipuram Korvai Saree with Mayil and Kamalam Buttas

Fresh mint green gives this Korvai an unusually light, clear body before Vadamalli purple and coral orange enter at the border. Alternating Mayil and petite Kamalam buttas add small traditional notes across the silk, while the pallu shifts decisively into a deeper jewel-toned register.

The Korvai construction keeps the mint-green body distinct from the purple and coral-orange contrast border, allowing the colour transition to read sharply in the drape. Alternating Mayil and petite Kamalam zari buttas are spaced across the body. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 20 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: The broad contrast border combines Vadamalli-purple and coral-orange silk with gold zari, using silk thread and zari together through the ornamental bands. Mayil motifs repeat within the border, finished by a slim dark-green outer edge.

Pallu: The pallu shifts into Vadamalli purple with a dense gold-zari geometric field and alternating ornamental motifs along the side, creating a rich jewel-toned counterpoint to the mint body.

Styling: A Vadamalli-purple, coral-orange, dark-green or antique-gold blouse will all work with the mint body. For a lighter look, choose pearls with one kemp accent; for evening wear, let the purple pallu show fully and add temple gold or a sculptural antique-gold earring.
