The Paalum Pazhamum tradition brings contrasting silk colours together in a rhythmic checked body. Here the blue, pale aqua and ivory Madras checks have an open, lively quality, while the sumptuous brown zari sections hold the richness of an older Kanchipuram aesthetic. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 19 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: Deep kaapi brown silk border with dense gold-toned zari Vanasringaram, its foliage and figurative forms arranged in a continuous woodland-inspired register, framed by a fine sawtooth gold edging.

Pallu: Richly handwoven deep brown pallu with a closely repeated, intricate gold-toned diamond-grid field and elaborate gold ornamental registers.

Styling: The cool checked silk is particularly striking beside an unembellished kaapi-brown blouse or one in soft ivory. Choose antique-gold earrings and a small string of jasmine, allowing the Vanasringaram border to remain the focal point. A neat shoulder pleat gives the intricate brown-and-gold pallu a considered finish.
