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.

Frequently bought together

What gives this plum saree its fine checked appearance?
It is woven in the Zari Kattam style, where thin zari lines cross to create a closely ordered grid. Small spaced buttas add points of gold within that geometry.
How does the pallu differ from the body?
The body is dark plum with a relatively open gold grid. The fuchsia pallu has a much denser small floral-geometric zari pattern and a separate ornamental register.
How will the fuchsia border appear when the saree is pleated?
The broad border gathers into repeated bands of brighter colour and gold bird motifs, while the finer checks remain visible on the main body. Keeping the pleats even helps show both scales of pattern.
Could Idam Living create a simpler blouse for this elaborate border?
A plain plum or fuchsia design is a natural choice. Optional custom stitching is available at an additional charge, and the design can be discussed using your submitted measurements and preferences.
Are slight variations in a handwoven zari grid normal?
Small changes in thread tension or tiny yarn joins can be natural handloom characteristics. They are different from actual damage, tears or significant weaving defects, which should be reported to customer support.
