This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, its confirmed Veldhari Vazhaipoo striped design alternating saturated green silk with deeper purple bands and delicate gold-toned woven accents. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 7 to 11 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The striped body gives way to a broad Deep Forest Green border that appears almost black in shadow, edged with fine gold zari and a prominent Rettapet gap between the bands, creating a dramatic visual pause beneath the brighter green and purple above. The pallu becomes considerably richer, with a dense antique-gold zari field built from hundreds of tiny geometric repeats, framed by ornamental woven borders and areas of dark green silk.

Styling: Let the stripes lead the look. A plain Deep Forest Green blouse creates the most sophisticated continuation of the broad border, while Deep Purple brings out the Veldhari stripes. Keep jewellery to one traditional antique-gold necklace or substantial earrings rather than adding another colour. Finish with a sleek centre-parted braid or low bun and restrained jasmine.
