Kanchivaram weaving is one of India’s oldest silk traditions. The body, border and pallu are woven separately and interlocked, which gives a strong border. The dual tone effect comes from weaving the warp and weft in two different colours, so the silk changes shade as it moves. The round buttas and the dense zari pallu are woven on the loom, with careful setting of the warp and weft.

Kanchipuram is a temple town in Tamil Nadu and the home of Kanchivaram silk. Weaving families there have passed the craft down through generations. The designs draw on temple architecture and nature, including peacocks, creepers, medallions and diamond patterns.
