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 body is a brocade with fine zari woven through it in a jaal pattern, so it glows softly and shifts shade in the light. A small kora panel above the border adds a lighter, crisper texture and carries the leaf buttas in gold and teal. The border and 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, leaves and diamond patterns.
