Ruby Crimson Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Forest Green Rettapet Border

A wedding reception at a banquet hall in New Jersey calls for a saree with quiet, radiant grandeur. This handwoven pure silk Kanjivaram Rettapet saree is woven using the traditional Rettapet technique — twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge. Each saree takes 48 days from dyeing to weaving and cannot be replicated by machine. Sourced directly from the weaver families of Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

The body is woven in a ruby crimson, in pure mulberry silk, scattered with delicate gold zari floral buttas that shimmer gently across the drape. Explore more from our pure silk Kanchipuram collection.

The forest green Rettapet border is woven with elegant mango motifs, delicate floral vines, ornamental circular medallions, and finely woven geometric zari panels, echoing the grandeur of a temple frieze in gold. Discover more Kanchipuram ceremonial silks.
