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 and a clear contrast between body and border. In the brocade body, fine zari is woven through the whole saree in a jaal pattern, so it glows softly and changes shade in the light. The lotus border and the herringbone pallu are woven in zari 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 nature and temple art, including creepers, flowers, butterflies and herringbone patterns.
