Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 25-595-HS001-00002
Kanakavalli's November pick for The Beautiful Drape is a simple kanjivaram whose beauty lies in its timeless elegance. Classic in its form, colours and embellishments, this kanjivaram celebrates the drape's geometric layout.
The body of the kanjivaram in a dual shade of red is woven with kasa kasa kattam, literally translating to poppy seed checks, in black. This delicate two-tone pattern, as fine as the tiny seeds, becomes more clearly visible when the sari is draped. The borders feature a contrast-hued selvedge in raspberry red and leaf green and manga buttas (paisleys) in gold zari, filled with v-shaped vanki patterns inspired by the traditional South Indian armlet. On the pallu, in raspberry red shot with emerald green and attached in the benth technique, is a central band of seeprekku patterns in gold zari, inspired by the fine teeth of a comb, and flanked on either side with dotted, pearl-like muthu lines also in gold.
As versatile as it is beautiful, the kanjivaram showcases a thoughtful interplay of colour with occasional zari highlights.
The zari in this sari contains 25% silver and 0.3% gold.
Approximate Length - 5.45 meters + 0.7 to 0.75 meters (attached blouse)
