Warm Sandalwood Ivory Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Korvai Saree with Arakku Red Gold Zari Border and Green Selvedge
Warm Sandalwood Ivory Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Korvai Saree with Arakku Red Gold Zari Border and Green Selvedge
Warm Sandalwood Ivory gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjeevaram saree a beautifully quiet luminosity. The colour sits between pearl ivory, pale sandalwood beige and champagne, with the faintest blush warmth appearing as the silk moves through light. Individually handwoven gold zari motifs are placed at measured intervals across the open body, allowing the natural sheen and subtle colour of the silk to remain central to the design.
❖ Nothing here comes off a shelf. 45 days of dyeing, threading, and weaving go into every saree, 20 of that on the loom.

This is a confirmed Korvai composition in pure mulberry silk, with the body and border woven separately and structurally interlocked on the loom. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 18 to 22 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 body uses ornament with restraint: circular medallion-like motifs and smaller traditional figural zari buttas create two scales of detail across the pale silk, each remaining clearly visible before the considerably richer Korvai border begins. At the edge, Sandalwood Ivory meets Arakku Red in a clearly defined Korvai contrast, with warm-gold zari developing through multiple geometric and ornamental registers and traditional figurative panels adding greater richness. A narrow Deep Green selvedge completes the edge, adding a surprisingly beautiful line of colour against the red and gold, while the pallu becomes denser still with an extensive geometric zari field and long richly woven ornamental sections. Explore the Korvai collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.
Styling: Pair it with Arakku Red to emphasize the traditional Korvai contrast, or choose the Warm Sandalwood Ivory for a quieter tonal approach. Deep Green can be introduced through a blouse piping or accessory to echo the selvedge, and antique or traditional gold jewellery complements the warm zari beautifully for weddings, temple functions and formal family celebrations.
Blouse Piece Included: 0.8m running blouse piece. See our Blouse Stitching Guide.

What colour is the Sandalwood Ivory body in person?
What colour is the Sandalwood Ivory body in person?
The body is a warm ivory rather than a stark white. It moves between pale sandalwood beige, champagne and pearl ivory, with a very subtle blush warmth becoming visible in softer light.
What makes this saree a Korvai Kanjeevaram?
What makes this saree a Korvai Kanjeevaram?
The pale Sandalwood Ivory body meets a strongly contrasting Arakku Red border through a clearly defined colour transition. This contrast construction is central to the Korvai character of the saree.
Are the gold motifs on the ivory body handwoven?
Are the gold motifs on the ivory body handwoven?
Yes. Individual zari motifs are woven directly into the silk and placed at measured intervals. Circular medallion-like forms alternate visually with smaller traditional figural buttas while leaving generous areas of the ivory body open.
Why is the green selvedge important to the design?
Why is the green selvedge important to the design?
A narrow Deep Green line finishes the outer edge of the Arakku Red border. Although subtle, it adds another layer of contrast and gives the red and gold border a beautifully defined finish.
Which blouse suits this ivory and Arakku Red Korvai?
Which blouse suits this ivory and Arakku Red Korvai?
Arakku Red gives the strongest connection to the border and pallu, while Warm Sandalwood Ivory creates a quieter tonal look. Deep Green can be introduced as a smaller accent to echo the selvedge, and traditional gold jewellery works naturally with all three.
