Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 24-611-HS001-03754
Kanakavalli's February pick for The Beautiful Drape is a classic kanjivaram with traditional patterns and woven elements. A thoughtful interplay of colour and zari lends this sari a timeless elegance.
The body of the kanjivaram in black is woven with very fine South lines in golden yellow. The lines are delicate, visible only when viewed up close and creating a delightful sense of geometry on the drape. The selvedge appears to extend into the borders of the sari, to the point where the border design begins, in what is known as bodikarai. The borders are composed of puliyar moggu, followed by seer lines in pattu (silk) and pearl-like muthu seer in zari enclosing a row of yaanai (elephant) and kamalam (lotus) motifs in zari with hints of leaf green and golden yellow. The pallu is attached in the benth technique, and features a shimmering gold zari band richly woven in the ettu kol technique, flanked on either side by muthu seer in zari.
The kanjivaram's beauty lies in its extraordinary simplicity, staying true to tradition while showcasing the craft's deft use of colour and technique in its exquisite detail.
The zari in this sari contains 0.2-0.3% gold and 20-30% silver.
Approximate Length - 5.4 meters + 0.7 to 0.75 meters (attached blouse)
