This beautiful Kanchipuram silk sari is handwoven to perfection with a stunning interplay of unique uncommon colours. The body of the sari in ivory, froms an elegant backdrop for checks created using gold zari. Adding a touch of sophistication, the dark tuaupe borders elegantly frame the sari. a beautifully intricate floral design intertwined with graceful vines decorate the borders in retrapettu format. Each element is meticulously detailed, encircled by defining rows of the traditional pullinakham (tiger's claw) motif, adding a captivating depth to the overall design. The pallu of the sari carries on this theme, reflecting the timeless sensibility of classic Kanchipuram styles. Completing this stunning ensemble is a 1-meter contrast taupe blouse.

We allow the process to be seen there by empowering the patron to see the impact they yield on the process.
