Sage Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Saree with Navy Elephant Rettapet Border

A grandson's Upanayanam sacred thread ceremony calls for a saree with real grandeur, and this sage green silk with its navy elephant rettapet border was made for exactly that occasion. Twin parallel border lines create a balanced layered edge — 8 days on the loom, and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The sage green body is woven in pure mulberry silk, scattered with small navy-blue teardrop and paisley motifs across the surface for a subtle, textured finish. Explore our full pure silk Kanchipuram collection for coordinating pieces.

The border deepens into a rich navy band with a striking gold elephant procession motif, and the pallu carries the same navy and gold elephant detailing for a truly ceremonial finish.

This saree pairs beautifully with antique gold or temple jewellery, and suits sacred thread ceremonies, temple functions, or any occasion calling for grandeur and tradition.
