Warm Ivory Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Varisaipet Saree with Arakku Red and Antique Gold Zari Border
Warm Ivory Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Varisaipet Saree with Arakku Red and Antique Gold Zari Border
Warm Ivory gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjeevaram saree a beautifully luminous foundation. The silk is creamy rather than stark white, with small antique-gold zari motifs placed at measured intervals across the open body. Against this restraint, the Varisaipet border arrives in deep Arakku Red and antique gold, giving the saree a striking traditional contrast.

This is a confirmed Varisaipet composition in pure mulberry silk, with a border built through several successive woven registers rather than one continuous zari field. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 14 to 18 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.
Body, Border and Pallu: The Warm Ivory body is intentionally open and luminous, with small individual antique-gold zari motifs woven at measured intervals across the silk. The Varisaipet border is built through a succession of distinct woven registers over Arakku Red silk, combining fine geometric bands, leaf-like and chevron-like lines, a broad central traditional figural register with repeated bird-form motifs, and fine temple-like edging. The pallu shifts fully into Arakku Red and antique gold, with a large antique-gold central field, fine geometric lattice, extensive traditional zari ornament and repeated bird-form motifs, making the transition from ivory body to red-and-gold pallu especially dramatic. Explore the Varisaipet collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Pair it with Arakku Red to extend the border colour, Warm Ivory for a refined tonal treatment, or antique gold for a more ceremonial blouse. Traditional gold jewellery and temple jewellery complement the woven zari beautifully. The colour combination works naturally for weddings, Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali, temple functions and formal Indian cultural gatherings.
Blouse Piece Included: 0.8m running blouse piece. See our Blouse Stitching Guide.
