Radiant Pachai Green and Deep Royal Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Rettapet Saree with Gold Zari Buttas and Bird-on-Branch Grand Pallu
Radiant Pachai Green and Deep Royal Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Rettapet Saree with Gold Zari Buttas and Bird-on-Branch Grand Pallu
This handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Rettapet is built around a colour combination with extraordinary presence. The body glows in Radiant Pachai Green, while the border and pallu deepen into Deep Royal Purple. Against antique gold zari, the two colours have an almost jewel-like intensity, reminiscent of luminous green stone set beside deep amethyst.
❖ Handwoven to order. Rettapet sarees of this kind typically represent roughly 18 days of loom time, from dyeing the silk thread to the final weave.

This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, with the traditional Rettapet construction paired with a luminous green body and a contrast purple border. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.
Body, Border and Pallu: The green is fresh and brilliant, yet the natural lustre of pure silk gives it depth rather than flat brightness. Deep Royal Purple provides the perfect counterpoint, cooling and grounding the vivid green while giving the saree a distinctly regal character. Across the body, handwoven gold zari buttas are placed at measured intervals. The border shifts into Deep Royal Purple, framed by beautifully articulated antique gold zari with repeated floral forms and finely woven ornamental lines. The pallu is the true conversation starter: large bird-on-branch motifs are woven in antique gold zari against Deep Royal Purple, framed by elaborate floral zari registers, with a dense central lattice of gold creating an opulent architectural backdrop. Explore the Rettapet collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Choose a beautifully tailored Deep Royal Purple blouse to strengthen the jewel-toned contrast. For something truly special, recreate one of the pallu's bird-on-branch motifs as restrained antique gold embroidery on one sleeve or at the back neckline. Finish with traditional gold or temple jewellery and allow the pallu to fall fully over the shoulder so its extraordinary woven birds remain visible.
Blouse Piece Included: 0.8m running blouse piece. See our Blouse Stitching Guide.
