The Butta EditSarita

Oil Mustard and Arakku Red Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree with Peacock and Elephant Border

Pure Kanchipuram Silk in oil mustard, the mellow gold of sun-warmed grain, paired with the glowing depth of Arakku red. Fine Oosi Vaanam lines lend texture to the ochre body, with little zari buttas catching the light like scattered seeds. A grand red border carries the familiar Kanchi procession of Yaanai and Mayil, while the pallu glimmers with closely worked, intricate woven lines. Richly traditional, yet beautifully composed.

❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree. Approximately 16 active days on the loom, followed by careful finishing.
