Rose Pink Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Rettapet Saree with Twin Peacock Border

Woven in the Rettapet tradition, this pure mulberry silk saree balances petite elephant buttas across the body with a distinctive double-border composition. A luminous rose pink purple, like fresh jacaranda petals lit by afternoon sun, with amethyst and violet undertones and flashes of rose-purple along the folds. The closely ordered zari elements bring a measured shimmer rather than an uninterrupted metallic surface. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: Two bands of finely delineated antique-gold twin peacocks frame the lower edge, while a vivid vermilion-red selvedge makes the purple appear brighter. In Kanchipuram terminology, Rettapet describes the double-border arrangement; the paired mayil (peacock) figures have ornamental plumage and floral scrollwork.
Pallu: An expansive purple field carries tall, closely ordered zari panels, sinuous mayil-vanki-inspired motifs and intricate kodi-malar flourishes, glowing against the silk. Explore the Rettapet collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Try a muted gold blouse, delicate jasmine and traditional gold jewellery to keep the vivid purple centre stage.
