Pomegranate Pink Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Rettapet Saree with Mayil Zari Border
Pomegranate Pink Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Rettapet Saree with Mayil Zari Border
A saturated Pomegranate Pink gives this handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram saree its jewel-toned presence. The colour deepens into rich magenta through the folds, while petite warm-gold zari buttas are scattered across the body with generous spacing, adding points of light without overwhelming the silk.
❖ Nothing here comes off a shelf. 43 days of dyeing, threading, and weaving go into every saree, 18 of that on the loom.

This is a confirmed Rettapet composition in pure mulberry silk, with fine gold zari framed by cobalt blue edging that sharpens the transition between body and border. 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: The Rettapet composition brings a distinctly traditional rhythm to the saree: warm gold zari is framed by fine Cobalt Blue edging, a restrained detail that gives remarkable definition to the pomegranate ground. The border is distinguished by a continuous procession of Mayil motifs — stylized peacocks unfold in warm gold zari with graceful curved necks, feathered bodies and curling floral-vine detailing, repeating across the silk in a beautifully measured ornamental rhythm, framed above and below by fine geometric zari registers. The combination of Pomegranate Pink, warm gold and slender Cobalt Blue accents gives this Kanchipuram both brilliance and depth. Explore the Rettapet collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Pair it with the tonal Pomegranate Pink running blouse for an uninterrupted jewel-toned look, or introduce a Cobalt Blue blouse to echo the fine border edging. Antique-gold temple jewellery beautifully complements the Mayil zari, while ruby or blue-stone accents can subtly pick up the saree’s colour contrasts.
