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.
