Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 22-040-HS001-09367

This July, Kanakavalli's pick for The Beautiful Drape is from the design-led Vault collective of classic format weaves that are exclusive to the brand.

This striking heirloom kanjivaram in pale wood rose pink shot with scarlet is woven entirely by hand on an adai loom. The body of the kanjivaram is woven with zari checks known as ettu kol kattam, highlighted with delicate muthu in scarlet silk. The borders feature bhugodi triangles, moplah lines in scarlet silk, muthu seeru, benaras patterns and jadai nagam, a motif resembling the form of a serpent, inspired by a traditional bridal hair ornament. The borders feature a band in scarlet silk, echoing the silk muthu kattam on the body, as well as hints of yellow and purple.

The pallu is embellished with ettu kol reku, gold bands with temple motifs, highlighted with scarlet stripes.

The beauty of the weave lies in its simple but exquisite geometry, and its delicate interplay of colour.

The zari in this sari contains 40% of silver and 0.3% of gold.

Approximate Length - 5.5 meters + 0.65 to 0.7 meters (attached blouse)
Height - 1.12 - 1.17 meters.
