This pure mulberry silk Kanchipuram is built on a classic Zari Kattam composition, with the fine, closely set grid-like zari detailing that lends the silk its shifting, luminous surface. The delicate lines brighten as the pleats move, while the broad border provides a more defined ornamental contrast. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: A vivid deep royal purple, like jacaranda petals in shadow with flashes of violet in sunlight. The silk takes on an almost liquid luminosity as the finely set zari-kattam structure catches light from different angles. Closely woven zari-kattam filaments create a delicate glimmer when the silk moves; repeating peacock and floral zari motifs appear in the purple border. Generous gold zari pallu with geometric ground and longitudinal floral bands. The contrast between the coloured silk and gold-toned weaving gives this Kanchipuram an expressive, ceremonial character without losing the clarity of its woven details.
