A classic Zari Kattam composition defines this Kanchipuram, woven in pure mulberry silk, with the fine, closely set grid-like zari detailing that lends the silk its shifting, luminous surface. The delicate lines brighten as the pleats move, while the broad border provides a more defined ornamental contrast. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: A warm, dark arakku-like red with a burnished coppery-gold sheen, reminiscent of red earth after evening rain. The silk takes on an almost liquid luminosity as the finely set zari-kattam structure catches light from different angles. Fine densely arranged zari-kattam creates a flickering metallic texture as folds move; peacock and floral bands repeat along the deep red border. Broad gold pallu with delicate diamond-grid ground and ornate floral and peacock borders. The contrast between the coloured silk and gold-toned weaving gives this Kanchipuram an expressive, ceremonial character without losing the clarity of its woven details.

Styling Notes
