Kanchivaram weaving is one of India’s oldest silk traditions. In the Korvai technique, the body is woven in one colour and the border in another, and the two are joined by interlocking the weft threads. This gives a sharp contrast where the off-white body meets the red border. The pallu is woven separately and joined in the same way. The peacock buttas, the zari stripes and the diamond 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 art and nature, including peacocks, paisleys, swans, temple edges and diamond lattice patterns.
