Ruby Red Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Ivory Rettapet Border

Skanda Sashti's six days of temple celebration call for a saree with quiet grandeur — this Rettapet weave fits the occasion perfectly. Rettapet's twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge, giving the saree a structured, ceremonial finish. Each saree takes 12 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Each saree comes from skilled weaver families across Kanchipuram district — read our story.

The ruby red body is woven in pure mulberry silk using the Vairaoosi technique — fine needle-like zari lines woven continuously across the body, creating a delicate all-over shimmer that catches light with every movement. Browse our Vairaoosi collection.

The soft ivory border is finished with traditional gold zari motifs, a deliberate contrast that lets both the ruby body and the ivory border hold their own. Explore our full pure silk Kanchipuram range.

A saree built for Skanda Sashti temple visits or a Telugu wedding's Pellikuthuru rituals — pair with an ivory or self-colour ruby red blouse, temple jewellery in gold with ruby accents, and a classic gold vanki for the arm.
