Woven in the Zari Kattam tradition, the fine grid of zari is part of the visual rhythm of the body, while petite buttas add delicate points of gold. A luminous raspberry-red silk body, reminiscent of ripe berries and deep rose petals, is traced with delicate gold zari kattam checks and scattered petite gold floral buttas. 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: The broad aubergine-purple border carries peacocks nestled into malar kodi, a flowering vine, in glowing antique-gold zari. A fine forest-green edge recalls a shaded banana leaf beside the vivid rose-red silk.

Pallu: An elaborate pallu moves from dark aubergine-plum into burnished gold, with a densely woven lattice of tiny floral zari forms, a decorative vertical motif panel and fine gold pinstripes. Explore the Zari Kattam collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.

Styling: Wear with a deep green silk blouse, antique-gold jhumkas and jasmine tucked into a low bun. The fine grid makes the body glow in evening light, while the darker pallu can be carried over the shoulder to show its full ornamental field.
