Zari Kattam gives the red body a clearly ordered gold grid, its small floral points adding another layer of detail without disturbing the rhythm of the checks. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: Wide stacked Banarasi-inspired brocade registers with elephants, peacocks and floral-vine motifs set between fine temple-tooth geometric lines and luminous gold zari fields.
Pallu: Rich Banarasi pettu-style pallu with densely woven lustrous gold zari fields and elaborate floral and geometric brocade detailing. Explore the Zari Kattam collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: A rich red silk blouse with narrow gold piping keeps the look cohesive, while an antique-gold blouse can make the pallu feel even grander. A long kasu necklace and pleats set carefully to show the checks suit a wedding or a festive family ceremony.
