The deep, luminous royal purple body is woven in pure mulberry silk, self-coloured throughout, with fine gold zari lines intersecting to form generous checks and punctuated with traditional woven motifs. Explore more Zari Kattam weaves.

The border is particularly beautiful — deep emerald-green silk thread is interwoven with luminous gold zari to create alternating bands of colour and metallic detail, with elaborate handwoven peacock and elephant motifs giving it the intricacy of an heirloom Kanchipuram.

Styling Tip

Let the geometry of the zari grid speak for itself with disciplined, crisp front pleats and a minimally ornamented finish. A self-colour royal purple blouse in a structured silhouette and a single pair of diamond studs complete a clean, contemporary take on this checked weave.
