A beautiful handwoven mulberry silk sari in mauve with tiny kamalam zari buttas throughout the body. The borders with the intricate durbarpet design along with the sophisticated motifs on either side give the sari a rich and ornate look. The silver zari kuyil kann band along with the gold zari kaayiru motif lines on the borders add to the beauty of the drape. The sari ends in a pallu adorned with ornate sevvakam motifs which gives a grand look to the drape.
Dimensions:
- Length - 5.5 meters
- Width - 1.27 meters
- Blouse - 1 meter

- Woven with: Pure mulberry silk - 2-ply warp, 4-ply weft and 3G gold zari

Shade dry these sarees & avoid drying them under direct sunlight. The sari may then be steam pressed for the finish.
Each Parvai saree is woven in Kanchipuram in our looms. All materials, including the zari, are sourced ethically & tested for purity. This allows us to control the quality of our sarees from design to finish. We wish for every Parvai Kanchipuram to help restore the dignity & pride of the highly skilled weavers of this area and, in the process, lead to a better understanding & appreciation of the weave.

"Do you ever wonder who made your clothes? If you don't do it yet, it is about time you did. Often, handmade products are made at the cost of slave labour and inhuman working conditions.
At Parvai, we ensure our process does not directly or indirectly support such practices, pay artisans their due & take pride in ensuring the saree we do not come at the cost of someone else's misery. Each saree is hence truly a labour of love. Our Kanchipuram silks are woven at our looms fully supervised by Parvai's team from design to finish."
- Dyers: Thaygarajan and his team of 2 dyers
- Preloom Preparations: Nearly six people are involved in warping and sizing.
- Petni: Mala and Shanti
- Designed by: Ane Thomas
- Woven by: Shakthivel
To us, Kanchipuram silks are much more than motifs and colour combinations. Parvai's Kanchipuram silks are cleverly constructed to ensure the saree does not weigh down the wearer free but feels like a royal. That is why our sarees focus heavily on texture, structure & construction. With time and age, the saree gets lighter and softer. Our humble attempt is to open your mind to the value of silk, the beauty of constructing a comfortably luxurious heavier ply and appreciates the technical nuances of a highly evolved art form.
