Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 25-040-HS001-09131

Kanakavalli's pick for The Beautiful Drape for September is a classic kanjivaram whose beauty lies in the simplicity of its embellishment and its thoughtful colour combinations.

This gorgeous kanjivaram sari has a plain body in aqua green shot with cardamom green without ornamentation, allowing the rich colour of the silk to stand out in all its depth. The borders feature a central band of bambaram kann, a pattern inspired by the traditional spinning top, woven in olive green silk. On either side are delicate pearl-like dotted muthu seer and thuthiripoo floral buttis in gold zari, alongside thin bands woven in contrast-coloured peacock blue silk. Where the borders meet the body is a row of moggu or flower bud motifs in zari. At the corners of the body, above the pallu, are exquisitely detailed manga buttas (paisleys). The pallu features muthu seer in zari and alternating bands of vertical olive green silk and zari kattu lines, with hints of peacock blue.

The sari is woven using the adai technique, a laborious hand weaving process requiring extraordinary skill that results in striking relief. On this sari, the introduction of contrast colours for fine detailing on the borders and pallu creates a sense of intricate beauty.

The zari in this sari contains 0.3% gold and 25% silver.
