Woven in the Zari Kattam tradition, the fine grid of zari is part of the visual rhythm of the body, while petite buttas add delicate points of gold. A warm vermilion red, recalling kumkum and the last coral light of sunset, is overlaid with a fine gold zari grid. Tiny spaced gold buttas sit lightly across the checked body. 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: A dark plum-toned border is filled with gold peacocks among malar kodi floral vines, framed by a narrow deep-green selvedge. The contrast is quietly traditional, like vermilion powder beside dark leaves.

Pallu: The pallu opens into a smoky plum-brown ground with dense old-gold floral latticework, fine geometric zari divisions, and an ornamental vertical panel beside closely drawn gold stripes. Explore the Zari Kattam collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.

Styling: Pair with an antique-gold blouse or a dark green raw-silk blouse, small temple jewellery and a neat pleated drape. The warm red body suits morning ceremonies, while the densely worked pallu lends depth for an evening reception.

Frequently bought together

What is Zari Kattam in this saree?
Zari Kattam refers to the fine grid of gold-toned zari lines across this vermilion red silk body. The petite buttas sit within that delicate checked rhythm.
What makes the border of this vermilion red Kanchipuram distinctive?
A dark plum-toned border is filled with gold peacocks among malar kodi floral vines, framed by a narrow deep-green selvedge. The contrast is quietly traditional, like vermilion powder beside dark leaves. The peacock and malar kodi motifs are larger and more ornamental than the small buttas on the body.
How does the pallu differ from the body?
The body is a restrained grid with petite buttas, while the pallu becomes more densely ornamental. The pallu opens into a smoky plum-brown ground with dense old-gold floral latticework, fine geometric zari divisions, and an ornamental vertical panel beside closely drawn gold stripes.
Can I have a blouse stitched to complement these colours?
Yes. The saree includes a 0.8 m running blouse piece, and Idam Living offers custom blouse stitching. Pair with an antique-gold blouse or a dark green raw-silk blouse, small temple jewellery and a neat pleated drape.
How should I care for the gold zari and silk?
Dry clean only. Store the saree folded in soft muslin, away from direct sunlight, and avoid spraying perfume directly on silk or zari.
