Rettapet remains the confirmed type for this saree, even where the body carries spaced buttas. Royal purple silk with small spaced gold buttas. The border brings structure to the drape, while the pallu provides the denser zari finish. 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: Broad gold zari floral border with stylised paisley-vine medallions, fine supporting gold bands and a classic rettapet arrangement.

Pallu: Gold-rich brocaded pallu with a tight geometric zari field and an ornamental vertical register along the edge.

Styling: Pair with a plain purple blouse, antique-gold blouse or a blouse picked from the pallu. Gold earrings and a simple bun will suit the rich purple tone well.

Suitable for Navratri gatherings, Deepavali celebrations, ceremonies, cultural gatherings and special occasions.

How would you describe the border on this purple saree?
The border reads as a gold floral-paisley vine, arranged in a broad decorative band. It is rich without feeling overly dense, so the purple body still looks clean and elegant.
Is the pallu more geometric or floral?
The pallu is primarily geometric in feel because of its tightly brocaded zari field. A decorative side register adds extra interest and ties it visually to the border.
Will the purple body look too bright in person?
The tone is vivid but not neon. It reads as a rich jewel purple, with the gold zari warming it beautifully for festive and ceremonial wear.
Can Idam Living stitch a blouse to accompany this saree?
A 0.8 m running blouse piece is included. Custom blouse stitching is an optional paid add-on; share your measurements and preferred sleeve and neckline details when arranging the service.
How should I care for this silk saree?
Dry clean only. Store the saree folded in soft muslin away from direct sunlight, and avoid spraying perfume directly onto the silk or zari.
