Royal Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Kili Butta

For the woman dressing for a Seattle seemantham who wants the elegance of a Kanchipuram with the ease of all-day wear, this royal purple lightweight Kanchipuram is the answer. Lightweight Kanchipuram silk sarees are woven using finer 2-ply and 3-ply mulberry silk yarns, creating a saree that retains the craftsmanship, durability, and drape of traditional Kanchipuram silk while offering a lighter overall weight and easier movement.

The royal purple body is woven in pure finer-ply mulberry silk, its deep violet hue carrying the characteristic silk sheen — rich and full in direct light, softer and more diffused when draped. Scattered across the body are gold zari Kili butta and small medallion butta alternating in a gentle scatter rhythm, each motif individually woven, the gold on purple a combination of quiet confidence.

The border is in magenta with a broad gold zari temple band — Yaanai motifs and floral zari work rendered in a dense, ornate composition, the Korvai join between body and border clean and precise. The pallu continues the magenta ground with the same gold zari motif work.
