Thulir Pachai Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Rettapet Saree with Aubergine Border

Woven in the Rettapet tradition, Fresh spring-leaf green pure silk with tiny, widely spaced gold zari buttas set over a soft natural silk sheen. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 18 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: A distinct deep aubergine-purple Rettapet double-register border, each broad purple section edged with geometric gold zari and repeated little stylised floral and scrolling zari patterns, with a fine rust-orange accent line.
Pallu: A densely patterned gold zari diamond lattice field in the deep aubergine setting, framed by fine floral brocade borders and triangular zari edging.
Styling: Try an aubergine silk blouse with elbow-length sleeves to echo the border, or a quiet gold blouse for a brighter ceremonial mood. Antique-gold jewellery and a neat low knot make the contrast particularly beautiful for family weddings, Karthigai gatherings and festive house celebrations.
