Red Kanchipuram Handloom Cotton Saree with Gold Thread Border

A red Kanchipuram cotton saree, woven on a handloom in 100% cotton. The body is a clear, plain red, crossed by fine bands of gold thread near the pallu. A wide gold thread border runs along the edge, woven with round coin motifs and wave lines in the temple style Kanchipuram is known for. The pallu ends in red and black pom-pom tassels.

Red and gold, kept simple. The kind of saree that feels right at a temple at dawn and still holds its own at a family Deepavali evening.

Fabric & Weave

• Weave: Kanchipuram cotton, handloom
• Fabric: 100% cotton
• Border: woven in golden thread (not zari)
• Length: 6.4 metres, including a running blouse
• Width: 1.2 metres
• Size: free size

Because it's handwoven, you may notice small variations in the weave. These are the marks of a loom worked by hand, not flaws.

How to Style It

A plain body like this one shines with a little contrast. Try a black blouse to pick up the black in the tassels, or a printed or ikat blouse if you want the look to feel more contemporary. Gold or temple jewellery completes it. One statement piece is enough; let the border do the talking.

Lovely for Deepavali (cotton is a calm choice around diyas), Navratri and Golu evenings, temple visits, poojas and small family functions.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash or machine wash in cold to lukewarm water with a mild detergent
• No bleach or harsh chemicals
• Wash separately from light colours
• Do not wring or twist
• Line dry in shade to keep the red bright
• Iron on a warm setting, never hot
• Store folded in a dry place, wrapped in a white cotton cloth

Cared for this way, a cotton handloom saree stays with you for 7 to 10 years.
