Woven in the Butta tradition, the silk body carries small gold zari mayil motifs in an even, all-over arrangement. The olive-green and muted brown tones shift subtly with the light, offering depth without overpowering the little peacock forms. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 29 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: The substantial ruby-pink border builds its richness in three stacked registers of zari work: narrow repeating floral and geometric bands, a closely patterned diamond-like register, and a larger figurative ornamental band. Fine gold framing lines divide and finish the sections, giving the border definition rather than a single uninterrupted gold field.
Pallu: A deep red to ruby-pink pallu opens into a closely worked gold zari diamond lattice. Floral medallion side registers, finely patterned vertical bands and a luminous gold end border frame the large woven field.
Styling: A ruby-pink blouse will draw out the border, while an olive silk blouse keeps the changing body shade in focus. Antique-gold jhumkas or traditional temple jewellery suit the layered zari, and an open pallu reveals its intricate lattice. Suited to festive occasions, ceremonies, cultural gatherings and special occasions.
