This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, with a doubled-yarn construction that gives the woven surface a subtly ridged texture and added durability. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 18 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: Across the body, fine antique gold zari lines intersect to form an all-over checked weave, light and disciplined rather than heavy, allowing the blush pink silk to remain luminous. The exceptionally broad Deep Charcoal border creates a dramatic contrast against the delicate pink body, finished with finely woven antique gold zari bands and small Deep Green accents between the registers. The pallu is considerably richer, developing the antique gold zari into dense traditional woven panels framed by narrow green separators and ornamental registers.

Suggested Blouse Design: The broad border offers a particularly beautiful opportunity for blouse detailing. Place portions of the antique gold zari border horizontally across the sleeves, allowing the charcoal and green edging to remain visible, with finely worked embroidery in antique gold and restrained deep green accents between two border bands. Keep the blouse body relatively clean so the sleeve treatment remains the focal point.

Styling: For a refined evening look, pair the saree with a Deep Charcoal blouse using the saree border on elbow-length sleeves and delicate antique gold embroidery between the border bands. Finish with antique gold jewellery or understated temple jewellery.
