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 bold contrast between body and pallu. On this saree, artisans hand-embroider each paisley motif in zari thread, stitch by stitch. This adds a raised texture on top of the plain silk body.

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, including borders, stripes and geometric medallion motifs.
