Off-White Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Violet Rettapet Border

For the diaspora family marking a griha pravesh or a quiet milestone at home, a saree often needs to be elegant without competing with the occasion itself. This Kanchipuram saree is woven in Rettapet (RT): twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge, giving the off-white body a calm, finished look. Each saree takes 14 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 woven in soft off-white pure mulberry silk, scattered with small gold zari elephant and floral motifs spaced evenly across the field for a refined, understated texture. Explore our full Kanchipuram ceremonial silks collection.

The border and pallu shift into a deep violet-purple ground, where the twin Rettapet lines are picked out in gold zari alongside fine geometric detailing — a striking contrast against the off-white body. See more pure silk Kanchipuram pieces.

Style with a deep violet or gold blouse, pearl and gold jewellery, for a griha pravesh, an engagement function, or a formal family portrait sitting.
