Plum Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Zari Kattam Saree with Fuchsia Peacock Border
Plum Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Zari Kattam Saree with Fuchsia Peacock Border
Dark plum silk carries a fine gold Zari Kattam grid, scattered with small gold buttas that catch the light quietly across the weave. The colour shifts at the border into a vivid fuchsia-magenta field, where curling peacock figures and gold-zari floral vines unfurl. The pallu continues this fuchsia ground, dense with a small floral-geometric zari lattice echoing the border's richness.
❖ Made to order, not off a shelf. This saree spent roughly 16 active days on the loom, in addition to dyeing, threading and finishing.

This Zari Kattam has an evenly spaced gold grid running through the plum body, with delicate separate buttas within its checks. The visual scale changes at the border, where the large bird figures sit against a richer fuchsia field. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: Wide saturated fuchsia-magenta band with a repeating stylised peacock and flower-vine gold zari arrangement, small ornamental inner edge and plain coloured selvedge.
Pallu: Vivid fuchsia-magenta pallu with a dense small-scale floral-geometric gold zari lattice, decorative vertical register and narrow lined zari section.
Styling: A plain fuchsia blouse creates a continuous colour story; a deep plum blouse keeps the focus on the gold motifs. Try a slender gold necklace, simple earrings and a neat pleat stack so the broader border remains legible.
Well suited to autumn cultural performances, Deepavali evenings, family ceremonies and winter wedding receptions.
